It looks like somewhere along the way it caught the scent of a black hole.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 25 points 5 days ago

My sister once said they look like the ghost of another dog that died

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Look at this dood

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 42 points 5 days ago

When people think your pretty ant eater is a dog...

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

It honestly looks like it came from the muppets, so I don't blame them

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 42 points 6 days ago

If you cross that with a pug, do you get a normal dog?

[-] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 21 points 6 days ago

Maybe something that looks like a shaggy aardvark with a curly tail.

"Remain wary of the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. Were it not for fear, death would go unlamented."

"Seek the old blood."

"Let us pray, let us wish... to partake in communion. Let us partake in communion... and feast upon the old blood. Our thirst for blood satiates us, soothes our fears."

"Seek the old blood."

"But beware the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. The foul beasts will dangle nectar and lure the meek into the depths."

"Remain wary of the frailty of men..."

I came here for this

Let me do it for youuuuu

Gosh, I thought mine had a bad overbite. Derpiness max factor unlocked.

Those snouts change so much too.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 100 points 6 days ago

It's because they are all compulsive liars.

[-] CuriousRefugee@lemmy.ml 28 points 6 days ago

I read this, moved on, then came back like 3 minutes later to upvote. Slow brain but great joke.

[-] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Confirmed. My Borzoi lies continually, especially to "have you eaten yet?" And "who made this mess?!"

She gives you that Russian side-eye.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

It's okay if they do it when they're sleeping, though.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Is that why they don't wear pants?

He's like a cartoon dog come to life!

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

Hey, people can understand this post now, with this context. That is illegal on Lemmy and you will be arrested shortly.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 47 points 5 days ago

I just read War and Peace for the first time last year. There's a section in the book involving hunting with borzois, and the narrator mentions that one of the characters paid a family of serfs for his best dog. He didn't pay money to a serf family - the cost of the dog was a serf family. Imagine that sort of bullshit if you're a serf.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

Sounds right. There's that British family that was caught underpaying their staff do much, they spent more on their dog

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 5 days ago

if i'm going to be sold for anything, a dog is probably the only option that wouldn't make me feel miserable

so long as they take care of the good boy

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 3 points 4 days ago
[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 days ago

i mean as much as anyone can be these days, yes?

not sure what about that joke is worrisome given the general standard online..

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 points 3 days ago

Nothing about the joke is worrisome to me.

I just had a hunch I should ask. False alarm, I guess.

Have a nice day :)

Well, it was a good girl in the book, but don't worry - she wasn't treated like a serf.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Fuck's sake those serfs can be trained to hunt too, what a waste

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 49 points 5 days ago

Giving my kid a borzoi puppy, then every day pinching his nose and tail and tugging on them a little bit, to convince my kid I'm stretching the dog out like taffy.

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

Borzoi's are the sweetest dogs too. Like most sighthounds, they are very gentle/calm/lazy

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

I have never met a more gentle dog than an American Doberman Pinscher. They look big and intimidating, and I guess they can be if you're their enemy, but they're so very sweet and gentle with their family. They have such soft mouths and they're so considerate and polite with their people.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 14 points 5 days ago

I once matched with a girl on a dating app who told me that borzois' faces look like David Duchovny's and I can't unsee it

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

TBH that puppy doesn't look that normal. Basically every breed's puppy looks something like this:

Round head, short snout. Chihuahuas, Pitbulls, Labradors, all the same shape. Obviously size and fur patterns will vary, but if I saw an infant puppy with such a long snout as OP's image I would be very much aware that it would have an enormously long face as it developed.

[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 6 days ago

I love borzois but lol
