A dog with human body.

Someone sent this to me. I sincerely cannot tell you how accurate the picture or story is... I personally don't believe it, but check it out and reach your own conclusions.

Dog with human body
Early this morning, a hunter, who gave his name as Mr. Ahutoyi, woke the indigenes of Badagry up with a loud cry over a strange creature he discovered while in one of his hunting expeditions that he had carried out in the last 25 years.
His finding was a strange dog in human form tending to her young ones in the thick of the forest. Unable to withstand the sight, he ran to the community and some brave youths moved the strange animal into Badagry, and thousands of Lagos and Republic of Benin residents have been trooping to a church where the animals have been kept for further investigations.

Is this a hoax or is it for real? It looks like a painting to me...what do you think?

  1. This looks really hideous and scary! Found in Badagry? Are you sure its not the case of juju falling on some woman and she had to go live in the bush? Abi, how else are we going to explain this kain 'alien' appearance? Or are the so-much-talked-about-aliens now arriving?!

    By the way, I saw you featured on Saturday's Punch! As soon as I saw the name on the cover, I went 'Oh, that's Linda!' and I grabbed the paper from my sis to read...lol Real cute pictures you had there. And I cant wait for your reality show coming on. More grease to your elbow girl. I admire your determination and hardwork.
    By the way, time to turn this blog thingy into a real entertainment website structure O! wink!

  10. The exact head line of this story was first reported in Chicago in 1897. Looks like someone got that story and recreated it using digital technology and changed the venue. "Google Dog's Head on Human Body" and follow the link to the New York Times' archives, or copy and paste the link below in your browser:

  17. i wonder if this is real story/frame-up or just computer generated picture cos i hardly find the news directly from a true source - it should have come from a Nigerian Newspaper, then we could agree or consider it as truth....anyway, it has been said; towards the end of the world, lots will be happening

  18. Hi, when i saw the story on this blog as well as iReport and emnnews.com, i dint believe that it was true or that it actually happened in Naija.My doubt led my in search of the truth and i found it.Its actually a sculpture by an Australian artist Patricia Piccinini that was exhibited in 2003.

  20. Thanks to NoLimit and FURAVRO for giving the explanation.

    PS to Ganiyu Babatunde : something that come from a Nigerian Newspaper is not necessarily truth.
