Just found this thread via reverse image search on Google. I'm the guy in the original photo. The dog is my boy, Hans. (Hanstheuglydoberman on Instagram)
Your collective work had me and my coworkers laughing our asses off.
If I'd have known this picture would make so many people happy, I'd have worn a different pair of socks
Thank you all for making my dog immortal. I hope it works, I'd be lost without him.
