Oh no. Cute though :)

2 Amanda 06.07.06 at 10:22 pm

Oh my god, I think I’ve just had a heart attack from all of the cute that was plastered into my arteries from that dog.

3 A thinker 06.07.06 at 10:26 pm

oh my. There’s my sad panda. Speak a wish and…

4 A thinker 06.07.06 at 10:27 pm

…in other remarks, *wow*. That is astounding. Truly.

5 katie 06.07.06 at 10:28 pm

does anyone know what kind of dog this is? I think I must get one.

6 punkpie 06.07.06 at 10:36 pm

doggie dyeing:

do or don’t?

7 Amanda 06.07.06 at 10:36 pm

I’m pretty sure that dog was dyed to look like a panda so I hope you don’t want to know the breed because of the coloration!

In other news, I’m sure someone will complain that dyeing the dog is abuse.

8 LilyPad 06.07.06 at 10:40 pm

Is that real and untouched by photoshop or a dye job?

9 lox 06.07.06 at 10:41 pm

I zoned in on the pic before reading title & commentary Meg…
My 1st thought:
Man that dog sure looks like a panda! LOL!

11 Cailet 06.07.06 at 10:45 pm

Oh please, don’t start in on the ‘abuse’ calls again. There is pet dye that is non-toxic and perfectly safe for use on animals.

I think it’s adorable. :)

12 angela 06.07.06 at 10:45 pm

Too Funny. If you go to the San Diego Zoo website you can the watch the Giant Panda cam. It’s cool beyond belief!

13 Theo 06.07.06 at 10:46 pm
14 Rythan 06.07.06 at 10:53 pm

Where can I get one!!!???

15 Diane 06.07.06 at 10:55 pm

That’s too funny!

My only question is WHY? I’m sure it’s safe and not bothering the dog or anything, but it’s still just so random.

Now, if they were dying them bright green or blue or plaid or something… now THAT would be amazing.

I think a poodle done up like a bumble bee would be just perfect.

16 Theo 06.07.06 at 10:57 pm

Diane — I seem to remember a pic of someone’s pomeranian (?) with a red-dyed full-length mohawk. I’m too tired to go searching again right now, tho.

17 Claire 06.07.06 at 11:01 pm

Too darn cute! I bet they use food colorings and such to dye pets like this, much better than the spray paint job my step-dad did on his pup to make it look like a tiger hehehe…

My husband just walked by me, saw what site I was viewing (again) and said, “You’re addicted.”

20 cat 06.07.06 at 11:23 pm

That poor dog looks so depressed. “Aren’t I enough?” he seems to be saying…

21 Serena 06.07.06 at 11:25 pm

oh my goodness! that’s hilarious! so cute :)

22 Aubrey 06.07.06 at 11:28 pm

There once was a dog
Whose head was in a fog-
His psyche it was tainted.
There were those that he amused
But he still remained confused:
Had he been ’shopped or was he painted?

23 Marty 06.07.06 at 11:34 pm

That poor dog. They bleached his black fur white! He’ll never look natural again!!!!!1

Sooo cute though.

24 Redzilla 06.07.06 at 11:37 pm

This dog looks not so much sad as he appears to be OVER the humor of his dye job. He’s all like, “Yeah, yeah, you’re pretty bleepin’ clevah. Now where’s the treat I was promised?” ‘Cause check that chubby belly nestled against the chair. This dog isn’t being abused unless you consider spoiling and abusing the same thing.

25 alice 06.07.06 at 11:37 pm

oooh Theo, I was about to say that there was another panda-dog. Two good things meshed into one – hm that sounds like a candy bar – peanuts and chocolate.

26 Oceanic 06.07.06 at 11:38 pm

As a firefox diehard, I can only say, “Bwa ha ha ha!” to the mohawked pomeranian. Too awesome. Pandapuppy is super cute, but that pommy is bitchin’

27 alice 06.07.06 at 11:39 pm

Pandog looks whimsical.

28 alice 06.07.06 at 11:40 pm

*think think* “I would like a piece of bamboo but what I would really like is a bone…”

29 DLT 06.07.06 at 11:49 pm

OH MY GOD IT’S ANIMAL ABUSE!

CALL HSUS! CALL PETA! CALL ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER FERKELSTEIN!

I’M STARTING A PETITION ONLINE!

30 Diane 06.08.06 at 12:24 am

I vote that we call in Will Ferrell’s character from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Federal Wildlife Marshal Willenholly: “Plaschke, this is Willenholly. I need you to get me on the national news, pronto. Why? Because we may very well be dealing with the two most dangerous men on the planet.”

31 Theo 06.08.06 at 12:28 am

JM — yep, that’s the one. Firefox!

Aubrey —
There once was a schnoodle* named Paul
Whose peeps dressed him up like a doll
When he saw what they’d painted
Well, he just about fainted:
“I look like I started a brawl!”

32 Aubrey 06.08.06 at 12:37 am

Theo:
On that link that you so gallantly posted, I noticed a page: ‘Puppies vs. Dog’. At first I thought it was some sort of WWE match. But I clicked it and saw that it was something even better.

33 alma 06.08.06 at 12:49 am

What to do? Don’t complain! You’ve got the next best thing :)

34 BENTONG 06.08.06 at 1:18 am

What the hack! What happened to it?! Panda crossover with dog equal “Pandog”!

35 Lohan Roberto 06.08.06 at 1:28 am

If you get him really really fat then he may pass as a panda!

36 Aubrey 06.08.06 at 1:55 am

If you taught him to dance, would he dance a pandango?

If he did so loudly, would he create a pandamonium?

37 Theo 06.08.06 at 1:57 am

And if he had a captive audience, would their attendance be pandatory?

38 Aubrey 06.08.06 at 2:01 am

If there was a pandamic going on, the audience would have to stay captive.

39 HonorH 06.08.06 at 2:05 am

That’s the most embarrassed-looking dog I’ve ever seen. His expression is like unto Ralphie in “A Christmas Story” when he came down the stairs wearing that bunny suit.

40 karen 06.08.06 at 2:12 am

He’s cute! Reminds me of a herd of cattle that I’ve seen. They are black in the front and the back, but their middles are white. They look like Oreo Cookies!

41 Redzilla 06.08.06 at 2:18 am

Hee hee! HonorH. Oh, for panda’s sake that’s a great scene. You’re right, he does have that martyr look about him. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge!

42 E. Collison 06.08.06 at 2:34 am

Apple pandowdy.

43 A thinker 06.08.06 at 2:37 am

yum.

44 GreenEyedHawk 06.08.06 at 3:10 am

Most pet dyes are vegetable based, that is, safe and non-toxic. You could swallow a bottle full and it wouldn’t hurt you. It can also be done with chalk powder. Most white dogs at dog shows are chalked to make them look even whiter. The grooming salon I work at does professional dog dying. We use both methods, vegetable dye or chalk, depending on what colour or pattern the owner wants on their dog. The last dogs I dyed were a pair of poodles that were going to be in a fashion show. I had to dye them pink to match a hat.

45 GreenEyedHawk 06.08.06 at 3:15 am

Judging also from the texture of this dog’s hair and the shape of his face, I would guess that he is a maltese or a maltese cross of some kind.

Sorry, I couldn’t actually find the person (Burton Silver) or how he creates his art. I do recommend leafing through a book or calendar if you find one. The pictures are gorgeous.

47 The Guy Over There 06.08.06 at 3:21 am

Awww, it isn’t the original Panda Dog? :(

48 Lelo 06.08.06 at 3:23 am

That there, people, is the cutest kind of dog in the world: a maltipoo! But then I’m biased, because I have one! A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.
Adorable.

49 J. Bo 06.08.06 at 3:43 am

Aw, this makes me sad…

But I think a bumblepoodle would be HILARIOUS!

I’ve got five bucks for the first person to dye his/her doggie in yellow & black stripes.

Deelyboppers on the head– MANDATORY.

50 blue 06.08.06 at 3:48 am

A “maltipoo” isn’t a kind of dog, it’s a stupid word made up for a mutt, a maltese/poodle cross.

51 Theo 06.08.06 at 3:55 am

Well *that’s* a relief. I’d figured it for some kind of intestinal ailment.

52 J. Bo 06.08.06 at 3:56 am

…or a really nasty hot cereal.

53 EricaE 06.08.06 at 3:58 am

Well, it’s not painted and it’s not a poodle… but it is a bumbledog. :D

54 J. Bo 06.08.06 at 4:00 am

ACK! Scary bumbledog!

55 EricaE 06.08.06 at 4:15 am

Hey! Bumbledogs have feelings too.
Pooor bumbledog… don’t you think for a second she doesn’t know people mock her.
Don’t you think she longs to cast off the stretchy lycra and nylon shackles of her oppressors.
Down with the man! Power to the bumbledogs!
Viva la revolution………

Hmmm I think that perhaps I might benefit from a bit of sleep.
Anyway, I think the bumbledog is cute. So… Nyah!!

56 lauowolf 06.08.06 at 4:20 am

Lelo-
How do you stand it?
Do you just stay home all day staring at your pooch?
How can you get anything done with a poofy creature like that in the house?

57 identity-crisis 06.08.06 at 4:50 am

pandog!!

58 Sandy 06.08.06 at 4:51 am

Actually, it is a maltese. Just a precious maltese. For more maltese (in their sweet natural state w/o the panda makeup) go visit Metropolitan Maltese Rescue’s website! http://www.malteserescue.com

59 christine 06.08.06 at 4:51 am

So cute and funny, made my day.

60 CC 06.08.06 at 5:06 am

Are there any schnanzer
people out there?

61 J. Bo 06.08.06 at 5:25 am

Schnanzer people scare me.

SCHNAUZER people, on the other hand, are quite charming.

Just don’t point at their noses; that would be rude.

62 E. Collison 06.08.06 at 6:36 am

“…or a really nasty hot cereal.”

Like Maypo! http://www.tvacres.com/images/maypo6.gif

63 E. Collison 06.08.06 at 6:37 am

(Actually, Maypo was a *cold* cereal, but kinda nasty nonetheless…)

64 J. Bo 06.08.06 at 6:44 am

Not to cause controversy, but Maypo was/is, indeed, a hot cereal:

68 paiffie 06.08.06 at 1:32 pm

Okay, I know this post is about pandogs, but I want to give people their beedog fix:

http://www.beedogs.com/

If you look hard enough, I bet you can find a dyed beedog. I would, but I’m a lazy good-for-nothing.

69 Zelda 06.08.06 at 1:37 pm

I must have a dirty mind (tee hee), ‘cos I keep picturing a panda coupling with a doggie, which is an odd mental picture, ya know?

70 ManekiNeko 06.08.06 at 2:14 pm

Painted beedog! Sadly, it’s not a poodle, but I think this little guy (husky? samoyed? hard to say with the stripes…) will do just fine:

71 Theo 06.08.06 at 2:30 pm

re: “BeeDogs” — if you haven’t clicked the link & checked out that site, do it. Even if you’re not really into dogs dressed up as bees, it’s worth it just for their navigation links and page titles.
[still grinning & chuckling]

72 A thinker 06.08.06 at 2:39 pm

That is *redonkulous*. The WWW is a Weird, Wild, Wonderful place indeed.

73 M- 06.08.06 at 3:56 pm

Okay… I MUST know… can you do something similar with food coloring and an albino cat… I always wanted to dye her purple… hehehe

74 ariel 06.08.06 at 4:01 pm

man, i thought cuteoverload was specialized and cheezy, and they you give me BEEDOGS. What the CRAP?

75 ShellBell 06.08.06 at 4:10 pm

…sad doggie breaks my heart…*wipes tearz*

76 ariel 06.08.06 at 6:55 pm

still preciously prosh, altho it’s been forgotten in the 800 comment frenzy.
sweet wi’l pupster

77 qui m. 06.08.06 at 8:38 pm

Don’t care if it’s dyed permed..or whatever. I want one !

78 gabbers 06.08.06 at 8:47 pm

79 ariel 06.08.06 at 8:48 pm

ithn’t it obviouth?

80 racegrrli 06.08.06 at 11:06 pm

is this a real dog??
did they dye the dog’s hair or it came that way?

81 TheLuna 06.09.06 at 12:12 am

I think he looks kind of serene, not sad. “This, too, shall pass.”

82 Mina 06.09.06 at 1:38 am

I think he looks cute. :)

83 qui m. 06.09.06 at 3:36 am

You peeps who think the pup is dyed or sad ..are NOT MY PEEPS !!

84 Jenny 06.09.06 at 8:24 am

marshmallow peeps!

85 Mike 06.10.06 at 4:17 pm

cute little panda doggie :)

86 Nampeung 06.17.06 at 6:13 pm

hahahahaha huhuhuhuhu hihihihihi

You just make me laugh out loud, man!!!

87 Adalia 07.14.06 at 6:28 pm

XD Oh God, I saw this dog and pictured my big black Chow, as a pandog… XD Or my new rabbit… XDDD That would be awesome. A panda-rabbit.

88 Adalia 07.14.06 at 6:28 pm

But this dog IS disgustingly cute.

89 Avril lavignes Sister 08.04.06 at 8:26 pm

It looks lika a panada!!

90 Diann 08.25.06 at 8:46 pm

This is a Schnauzer poodle mix with the Schnauzer parkinks of a “Party” instead of the salt and pepper that is the norm. This is not a die job. Do a google search on Schnauzer with party markings. If you get one they are very rare, but it is possible. Norm a all black parent mixed with an all white or salt and pepper parent will produce MAYBE one a litter.

91 Hilassy 10.11.06 at 5:57 am

Oh panda puppy! How I wishy wish you were mine! Then we could cuddle all day! I just want the most perfectest panda puppy babies with you. I wish there were polar bear puppies, and lion puppies, and unicorn puppies! Unicorns are magical creatures. BIG FLUFFY RETNAS!

92 Erin 12.15.06 at 1:26 pm

Hey all! I don’t know if anyone will see this, but I wrote a song about Panda Dogs and I am in a contest.

Please watch!
