There's a dog out there that might just be the real-life Snoopy. Seriously, if she had a red doghouse and a yellow bird hanging out with her, you’d swear it was the iconic cartoon dog come to life. Don’t believe it? You’ll have to take that up with the internet because everyone’s obsessed with how much this sweet pup looks like the famous “Peanuts” character.
Snoopy, of course, is Charlie Brown’s pet from the beloved comic strip and its various adaptations. Enter Bayley, a 1-year-old mini sheepadoodle (a mix of a miniature poodle and an Old English Sheepdog), who’s become a viral sensation due to her uncanny resemblance to the animated pup. In today’s world, it didn’t take long for the internet to go wild over her adorable, cartoonish look.
Bayley’s perfectly groomed, fluffy, curly fur gives her a whimsical, almost animated look, and with her black ears and coal-like button nose, she could easily be mistaken for the real-life version of Snoopy. Her rise to fame began when Doodle Dogs Club shared a photo of her on Instagram, instantly making her a viral hit. The post amassed over 1.4 million likes and thousands of comments, with some fans asking for Bayley to star in a live-action version of “Charlie Brown.”
While Snoopy was originally depicted as a Beagle, Bayley’s appearance has more in common with the cartoon dog than any actual Beagle. That’s probably due to the exaggerated features of cartoons that give Snoopy his unique look, and Bayley’s fluffy, curly fur only adds to the effect.
Since her debut, Bayley’s Instagram following has ballooned to over 240k, with fans adoring her cartoonish charm. To make things even cuter, Bayley’s mom shares videos of her where the dog’s voice is dubbed over with audio that sounds like a toddler telling a story. It’s the perfect recipe for making the internet fall even harder for this adorable pup.
Bayley might not care one bit about her newfound fame—unless, of course, it means more treats—but she’s certainly made a lot of people smile by reminding us all of the timeless charm of Snoopy.
