Artist Creates Compelling Illustrations That Give Interesting Origins to Dog Breeds
Most animals (and more specifically, pets) are beloved by everyone because they are cute, friendly, and our lives would not be the same without them.
That being said, some breeds of animals, like cats and dogs, are bizarre and make you wonder where their genetic traits came from.
One illustrator has put together some drawings of dogs mixed with various animals and items that may answer that question in a hilarious and insightful manner.
These designs are likely not the true origins (some definitely are not), but that doesn’t stop them from being completely and utterly brilliant, as well as absolutely hilarious.
Okay, that’s undeniable.
These brilliant illustrations were created by Ben Hed (or as he is known online, ‘Pet Foolery’). Ben has almost 2 million followers on Instagram.
He is most well-known as the creator of ‘Pixie and Brutus,’ but his account also features other creative and hilarious ideas as well.
One example of this is a series of images that showcase his perspective on how various dog breeds came to be.
“I just thought it was funny how some dogs look so similar to wolves and some… don’t… at all, even though they are all supposedly related,”
Forget catdog. Here’s horsedog.
The artist is not playing favorites when it comes to the design of these dog breeds.
“I haven’t spent much time with any of these breeds, and as far as looks go, they’re all interesting in their own way.”
“I like to keep a mix between solo comics and recurring comics. I’ve stocked up on comics (for later this summer when I start work at a Bible camp), so I know that most of the upcoming comics are solo comics.”
Are cats next?
“I thought about it, but it wouldn’t really work. There just isn’t nearly as much diversity in cats as there is in dogs.”
So all I need is a wolf in my room, and I’ll get one of these?
Here is what others had to say about these illustrations
That’s your opinion
They don’t even look like rats.
Apparently
Wolf?!?!
Luckily, that’s not the case.
Too true.
That’s what I got out of this.
Hey! Pugs are cute.
Pugs are pretty cute, though.
Why all the pug hate?
Confirmation
That's it! Don't forget to share with your dog-loving friends :)
