The Incredible Hulk Of Hounds

People mistake her for a pitbull with a pinhead, but Wendy the whippet is one rare breed. Wendy is a 27-kilogram rippling mass of muscle. Forget the so-called six-pack stomach: Wendy has a 24-pack. And the muscles around her neck are so thick, they look like a lion's ruff.

She was born with a genetic defect which has left her looking like the Incredible Hulk of Hounds. While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the size of those of a normal whippet, her gene defect means she is 'double muscled.'

Anchovy,

Well, it was in a newspaper. That doesn't mean it's true, but I kind of think this is real.
