She’s the Incredible Hulk of hound dogs.
Wendy, a whippet, was born with a genetic defect that caused her to be “double muscled,” leaving her with a bulked-up, jacked-up body completely unlike the elegant frames found in her sporting breed.
But the 4-year-old pumped-up pooch, who lives on a farm in Victoria, Canada, is no monster – she loves having her back scratched, said her owner Ingrid Hansen.
“People have referred to her as Arnold Schwarzenegger,” Hansen told The Daily Mail of London. “She’s healthy and happy. That’s all that counts.”
“She doesn’t know she’s got a genetic defect,” Hansen told the newspaper about the 60-pound dog. “She might give you a nasty lick, that’s all.”
