Curious Dogs Get Dubbed "Platypus Dogs" And It's Incredibly Adorable
Some dogs have a talent for looking like they just stepped out of a cartoon, and these so-called Platypus Dogs are a perfect example.
The joke comes from pups who love shoving their noses into shoes, hiding in odd places, or striking a pose that makes them look a little more like a platypus than a dog. Their humans have been sharing the funniest photos online, and the results are equal parts silly and adorable.
From shy little snoots to full-on shoe-snugglers, these PlatyPups are hard to scroll past.
1. Perfect PlatyPup
2. Someone loves to chew on shoes
3. He seems a little bit shy
These pups really commit to the look.
4. Full PlatyPup mode
5. "Some dogs are known to disguise themselves as platypuses, usually for tax reasons."
6. "For the last time, we only rate dogs. Please stop sending other animals like this Duck-Billed Platypus. Thank you. 9/10"
That joke lands even better with the next photo.
