“Look, it’s Cer…” Canine trio in Japan make people do a double-take

When you take a walk with your dog, sometimes you'll be approached by curious strangers.

In a post which went viral, the Twiter account of ローズウルフ犬舎 Rosewolf kennel (@rosewolfjp), which provides information on living with wolfdogs, shared the following episode that happened during a walk.

One day, when the account owner was walking with his dogs, he overheard a passerby say something surprising.

"It's Cerberus! It's Cerberus!"

One look at this photo he posted and you'll probably agree:

"As I was walking in the neighborhood, I heard someone say: 'It's Cer...! It's Cer...!' I strained to listen to what they were saying and realized it was 'Cerberus.' Depending on the angle, I can certainly see how it may look that way (...)"

Of course, the passerby was talking about the three-headed dog Cerberus guarding the gate of the Underworld in Greek mythology.

Even though their heads aren't connected, these three impressive dogs confidently walking abreast could easily be mistaken for a more sedate and amiable version of the mythological Hound of Hell.

Not only passers-by that day but other Twitter users were surprised by the appearance of the three dogs, leaving comments such as:

  • "There's no doubt about it, this is Cerberus. Too cool!"
  • "What a handsome trio... They look so cute walking together like that."
  • "They really look like one body, I had to look twice. It's amazing..."

By the way, the three dogs are a couple and their daughter, the mother dog being a German Shepherd mix.

The photo was so good that the account owner submitted it to a photo contest, which you can see here. Of course, the title of the photo is "Cerberus!"
