desymbol: People Are Saying This Puppy Is A Hybrid Between A Cat And A Dog And It Has The Derpiest Expressions

“Are you a cat person, or a dog person?” If that’s a question you get on a first date, there’s a 50% chance it will be your last. There exist unspoken rules about your domestic animal preference—not only could it change the course of your life (as in the first date example), but it instantly puts you in one of the two schools of life: that of doggos, or that of kitties. Just like left or right-handedness, it will stay with you forever.

Trust us, you didn’t see this coming. Apparently, there is a dog who resembles a cat living in Vietnam and he might be the long-needed answer to the eternal split between cat and dog people. People on this subreddit were quick to share conspiracy theories about the breed of this animal. One user claimed “he looks like a cartoon,” and another insisted “it’s a H’mong dog breed.” User u/ryliky confessed that “I don’t care if it’s a cat or a dog. It’s a cuddly gud boi and I want it.”

Pandas, do you have any other ideas what this little boy could be?

It’s not surprising if you’re hearing about the Hmong dog for the first time, since it’s an ancient breed of Vietnamese native dog originally used by ethnic people in the area. According to Asia Life Magazine, they are considered excellent hunting and guard dogs and have exceptional strength and intelligence. The Hmong dog originates from the mountainous area of northern Vietnam. It’s known for its cute-looking docked tail. Mr. Tran Dinh Thao lives with two black Hmong dogs and states that “they are a very loyal and cute animal.” Apparently, Hmong doggos get along with children very well and are, in general, quite social animals.
