Two-nosed Dog.

  • It smells awful awful.
  • Dammit Hank Mabuse you pre-emptively ruined my joke!
  • Ho Ho.
  • This reads like deleted portions of the script for Ripping Yarns Across the Andes by Frog.
  • It would look better in a scarf.
  • Now, only if I can find a 3-arsed purple-assed Mandrill.
  • "Colonel John Blashford-Smell?"
  • Cutting down the time of the reception line at dog-parks everywhere....
  • Blashers is quite the pukka chap.
  • I'm pretty sure that the poor beast merely has a form of cleft face deformity, wherein the nose has actually divided and this has become an inheritable mutation (I note reference to the dog as a "breed".) My guess is that on close examination, you'd find one nostril in each "nose" and no true redundancy in olfactory capacity or prowess. Makes good copy, though. I wonder, if this really did happen with a human, would they need two Neti pots?
  • kinnakeet leads us to the real question, and thus, this thread is closed.
  • kinnakeet: A veterinary expert with the group examined Xingu to see if he had a cleft palate, but this was not the case. "There is a chance that these dogs came from a breed with double noses that's known in Spain as Pachon Navarro, which were hunting dogs at the time of the Conquistadors," said Colonel Blashford-Snell. "I think it's highly likely some of these were taken to South America and they continued to breed. They're good hunting dogs."
  • would they need two Neti pots? /head asplodes /nostrils are still shiny and clean, though
  • You don't get many news stories that end like this: "The explorers also carried with them a church organ from Dorset as a gift to local Bolivians in order to secure their help with finding the meteorite. "
  • cleft face deformity, wherein the nose has actually divided and this has become an inheritable mutation Yup, my bet, too. Must be recessive, as the whole litter doesn't carry it. (I note reference to the dog as a "breed".) Nope, not a "breed". Doesn't breed true. I suppose some strange person could try to breed for this, but I'm wondering, since the pups referenced died, if this isn't partially linked to some lethal gene. My guess is that on close examination, you'd find one nostril in each "nose" and no true redundancy in olfactory capacity or prowess. Upon blowup in my photoshop, it appears that this is the case. All doggys have a bit of a groove in their noses, and appears that this grove has moved apart and filled in with hair. Not two noses--dang! And I sincerely doubt if they smell any better than the average dog. Actually, since this one is friends with a pig, I'd bet he smells worse! So, in conclusion, I respectfully agree, and therefore, defer to my humble colleague, Kinnakeet.
  • ...a man with three buttocks...
  • ...potentially has two arseholes...
  • ...a man with a tape recorder up his brother's nose...
