It was a Double Nosed Andean Tiger Hound...

A WHAT?

A double nosed andean tiger hound. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself. Even still doubtful? Check out the story on the BBC New Page.

I think the Bolivian link is the funniest... But its true, there are double nosed dogs out there.

"Explorer Colonel John Blashford-Snell has had close encounters with vampire bats and angry bees, but his latest brush has been with a rather odd dog. He spotted a rare breed of Double-Nosed Andean tiger hound, which has two noses, on a recent trip to Bolivia."

It was said that Xingu, the dog Colonel John Blashford- Snell discovered, is "quite intelligent and fond of salty biscuits".

"I was sober at the time, and then I remembered the story that the legendary explorer Colonel Percy Fawcett came back with in 1913 of seeing such strange dogs in the Amazon jungle.

"Nobody believed him, they laughed him out of court."

The dog seen two years ago was Bella, and on a second trip to the area, which began in May and has just ended, the explorer discovered her son Xingu in the village of Ojaki.

"He added that Xingu was "quite an aggressive little chap" who stood about 16 inches in height and loved salt biscuits but "wasn't a terribly handsome dog".

So its true. Double Nosed Andean Tiger Hounds do exist, but isn't it funny?
