I took Oscar to Pets at Home on sunday, to see about a car harness and get it fitted.
While I was there, he attracted quite a lot of attention and people wanting to pet him.
I was asked if he was a small great dane, or a foxhound/greyhound cross… which I thought was quite funny. He’s a Pointer… but apparently they aren’t very well known.
It got me thinking about other cases of mistaken identity we’ve had, the best ones that spring to mind are a boy exclaiming ‘mummy, why is that lady walking a fox?’ (meaning Simba, my tiny rough collie)
and when I was a child we had a red miniature dachshund. We were walking him one day and someone asked why we had a weasel on a lead… :what:
I find it quite funny, as I tend to know what most breeds are, or I just ask if I don’t know… but what other creatures have your pooches been mistaken for?
