What went wrong with the good old cross-breeding? You can get bigger dogs, with more hair, that'll cut you down from 10 paces with cross-breeding... All the good species are dying out!
At least with cats they don't slobber on everything. And Cat owners live considerably longer than Dog owners.
"I have snuggled Sam under my blankets on my bed for six years," said Lockheed...
Wow! a face like that would have either given me nightmares every night, or caused me to wake up screaming from the sight of that dog every morning! and for six years... *shivers*
If I had a dog that looked like that I'd walk it past a daycare. Freak out the little'uns. Fun.
Teach it to growl under its breath like a demon or something, too. That always adds to the fear factor. You can't have little kids who aren't afraid of horrid-looking things, no sir.
