If Michael Vick Had a Whippet

I just came across this image on Flickr. Holy Canole! At first I thought it was photoshopped, but it looked just too real. I work with PhotoShop a lot at work, and have done my share of silly photo edits, and getting a picture like this is tough. Perfect lighting, no telltale blurry spots, and very detailed.

So I dug around and found that this is a real dog named Wendy
that lives on a farm in Canada. She has a rare genetic mutation that doubles her muscle. Apparently, she's very friendly, even though her disorder means she's characterized as a "bully" dog.

Here's another article with better photos, including one with Wendy next to a normal whippet for perspective.

She's been part of genetic studies and has had an appearance on the Today show. Yes! I'm late to the party.
