I didn't know Barry Bonds had a dog. :lol:

Maybe they should call her a whoppet - after all, she's a whopper of a whippet.

This is Wendy, the dog whose appearance is a long way from the usual long, lean and sleek look of her breed. Beware: Wendy on the prowl


She was born with a genetic defect which has left her looking like the Incredible Hulk of Hounds.


While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the size of those of a normal whippet, her gene defect means she is "double muscled".


She weighs 4st4lb - twice as much as she should - and has bulging neck muscles, burly shoulders and haunches like a baboon. And unlike ordinary whippets known for their lithe and narrow frame, this four-year-old pedigree doesn't just have a sixpack stomach, she has a 24-pack.

4 stone is 56 pounds, so 4 stone and 4 pounds would be 60 pounds.

I knew it stood for stone, but I had to use Google to remember how many pounds are in a stone. :D

My favorite weird measurement definition is (was) the "rod" - the distance taken up by 16 men lined up heel to toe as they emerge from church. (I think the idea was they'd be most likely to be sober when leaving church, and thus be best capable of lining up heel to toe.) :D

That just don't look right at all. But it says shes happy and healthy.
I am sure there are lots of dudes out there wishing they were born double muscled. :lol:

It's also known as a rock. You can find them on the ground outside.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Werid stuff. But, she looks happy. But I would poop my pants if she started to chase me. She looks mean.
