[Animals] "Snoopy is real!": That's how huggable Bayley is, the double of the famous dog from 'Peanuts'

Raise your hand who doesn't feel sympathy for Snoopy. Now look around you, you will hardly see any hands raised. Because the comic strip 'Peanuts', starring Charlie Brown, the unmistakable and adorable white Beagle and his gang, has permeated the collective imagination and is the symbol of many generations. With few words, but thanks to his human behavior, Snoopy likes him, as does his double in real life, the dog Bayley, a celebrity on Instagram.

Bayley is a mini Sheepadoodle dog (a cross between a poodle and an Old English Sheepdog) who has her own account on the social network. He is doing more than well: he has more than 217,000 followers, a figure that will be obsolete at the end of this story because the animal is now more successful than the one created by cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950 and whose cartoons are published in more than 700 newspapers in everyone.

The dog, who will be two years old in May, lives in the United States, and is identical to the comic book character. You do not believe it? Look at the following images and think for yourself. But we already told you that he has the same black floppy ears, and that big button nose so characteristic. Even the shape of his head matches Charlie's best mate.

Although Bayley is a clone of Snoopy, in character they are two polar opposites. "Snoopy's personality is a bit bittersweet. But he's a very strong character. He can win or lose, be a mess or a hero, and still end up solving everything. I like the way he escapes through his fantasy when he's in it in real trouble," Schulz said of his creation, which in comics understands the importance of being realistic in and with life.

On the contrary, Bayley exudes sweetness. Also, she likes to wear different doggy outfits and loves to eat whipped cream. In fact, she is a regular at Puppuccino, the special Starbucks drink for dogs without theine or caffeine that does not appear on the menu. As if that were not enough, she is surprisingly photogenic: she calmly poses in countless photos and videos that have catapulted her to success.

The Doodle Dogs Club Instagram account presented the dog to its thousands of followers on Tuesday, on the occasion of National Pet Day in the United States. At that time, the account of the cuddly stuffed animal barely had 40,000 followers. At the end of writing this news, the spitting image of Snoopy already has 10,000 more fans than an hour ago and is close to 228,000 fans.
