What-the-huh is this?

[GLASNOST]

I just now (10 minutes ago) saw this dog near my house and I had to stop to scratch my head. I could have asked the young woman at the other end of the leash but I didn't like the looks of her. Is this a dog, I mean a real dog or was someone
playing with hair dye?

She's cute.

Yes.

Looks like a Bichon Frise -- a nasty little French breed that should be impaled and toasted .
Could be an English Badger impersonator after food from a human .

Just kill and claim the bounty.

The Bichon Frise is all-white as far as I know and it is generally sliced and sautéed although there are some kitchens in Alsace where it is "pulled" and slowly cooked.

The Badger, particularly the English variety, is only barbecued as a road kill delicacy as in one of the episodes of "Doc Martin".

Raccoon.

I considered that but the raccoon doesn't have "paws". We do (in my country) have what is called a mårdhund with dog-like paws. That's more likely but it's never been domesticated.

Mårdhund:

Looks like someone colored their dog to look like a panda...

I honestly think that's what it is. I know there are fake "tiger" dogs ..... people who hair-dye dogs in a tiger pattern and then sell them to idiots who don't know what is going on. I read that such dogs don't survive because of the chemicals.
The cruelty behind these cute-looking ‘tiger dogs’

Anything with fur, 4 legs and below 35cm belongs to the Rat family.
Judging from that stubby face and upper hind legs - probably one of those countless China bred - rats.

I hate these buggers - literally ever single woman or granny in China has one

Google lens says it might be a Keeshond

Creating bonsai is my hobby. The term "tanooki" is Japanese for "fake".

A zoo was recently under fire for this. I personally think that it's obvious to tell that they aren't actually pandas though.

You are far more perceptive than I first thought.

Not exactly, no. The French translation of 'good sigh' is bon soupir but let's not argue over the details.
