rsieg Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 So this is a new one. I was walking Logan down in the park this afternoon, and a couple passed us. The woman was in the lead, and asked what breed of dog, and I replied retired racing greyhound. The guy came up next, and said that he first thought my dog looked like one of those thylacines. I've had Logan mistaken for a Great Dane, a Doberman, a deer (including by a couple rutting bucks one time, at least they kept following us), or a tiger or tiger dog (those from little kids), but "thylacine" is a new one. In case anyone is unfamiliar with them, here is a description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacine. It's generally thought that they went extinct in the 20th century, though occasionally there is still a reported sighting of them in Tasmania. Not quite as many sightings in Ohio, but apparently some... Anyway, here is the "thylacine" on his walk: Guess there could be some resemblance seen from behind, what do you think?

Remolacha Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well, you know, tiger, tiger dog, thylacine, you can see how some one could make that mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenEveBaz Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Somebody check to see if Logan has the marsupial pouch. One GT person reported some years ago being asked -- upon exiting an elevator -- if their grey was a hyena. Evidently all that registers with some people are brindle stripes.

Jerilyn Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Ah, the Tasmanian tiger! There is a statue of one at the zoo I volunteer at. It gets a lot of attention since it's such a strange looking creature. I suppose it is stripey..... Quote Jerilyn, missing Lila (Good Looking), new Mistress to Wiki (PJ Wicked).

Time4ANap Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Rocket was very bright red with very pronounced striping when he came off the track and we adopted him. At one of his first vet visits, there was a little boy in the waiting room and it may be one of my favorite moments of all time when he asked, "May I pet your tiger?" Yes, of course you can....

Not quite yawning, but this is another picture I took from yesterday's walk. Not quite yawning, but eating grass as he is wont to do. 2 hours ago, Time4ANap said: Rocket was very bright red with very pronounced striping when he came off the track and we adopted him.

A lot of kids call Logan a "tiger" or "tiger dog" as well. But I guess when you are three feet tall a greyhound does look like a huge carnivore :-) Quote Rob Logan (April 7, 2010 - July 9, 2023) - - Max (August 4, 2004 - January 11, 2018) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
