Dogs look weird, Portland Oregon

I know a ton of dog lovers but I don't have a lot of dog-experience so sometimes when I see one I just think "you used to be a wolf, but then were bred by humans to be some weird-looking lumpy thing." Like this dog, I only took this photo because it was so weird looking, I mean c'mon.

He's definitely a cutie pie! I love the "background"!

When I look at the pattern on the tile floor and then compare it to the shape of the dog's head I see that they are somewhat similar. The points of the ears match the points in the design, the bulge at the eyes match the semi-circles on the design, and the round nose/mouth match up to the semi-circle at the bottom of the patter. The contrast in colors is great. Lighting is perfect and I love the shine it provides on the fur.

Awww I think he's adorable :-) ...in a weird alien dog sort of way *pokes bulgy eye* *poke poke* Also he's kind of looking at you like you're the weird looking one :-P

Dogs. are. strange.
I've never really been a dog person, despite the fact that I live with two bearded collies. They are more like foot rests though. Large, furry, foot rests. :]

I think I need this linoleum. And maybe the dog, too. For good measure. You know...in case the wolves come back...

I like your choice of the angle. It makes the dog look even weirder since you can't see his legs. Maybe he used to be a slug bred by wolves. ;D

We have three Bostons, and think that they look like gargoyles....

Please examine the following photo. It is my annoying Bostons, referenced by my husband, above. They do not only look like gargoyles - THEY are gargoyles! And they follow me everywhere, as you can see! http://www.jpgmag.com/photos/674977

I like the dog-a bit like the cartoon Stitch. The pattern is cool-retro like something out the film The Shining.
