Re the muscular dog.
He looks a bit grey round the muzzle.
Old age, maybe. He could have arthritis.
They do get that I think.

Looks photoshopped to me.

I provided links to the phenomenon of double muscling.
There is a picture of such a dog there as well.
Did you look at that?

@Pinwheel. Heh Heh.

@Signal. Yes interesting links.
I was suggesting arthritis as a reason why the dog looks as though it is in constant pain.

Apparently double muscles are not an uncommon thing in racing whippets.

Probably the only photo on here which isn't photoshopped

What we need now is a photo of a double muscled Great Dane.

Here is a short video on the double muscled whippet. It has a genetic condition as MacGyver1968 originally brought to our attention.
