  • A canine featured in online photographs was claimed to be Working in the Russian Army Special Forces and touted as The Strongest Dog in the World: The type of dog pictured here is a whippet, described by the American Kennel Club as an English Greyhound in miniature and the fastest domesticated animal of his weight. Specifically, this dog is a bully whippet, a type of whippet with a genetic mutation that makes it more muscular and faster than standard whippets: Wendy, the bully whippet in this photograph, lives in Victoria, British Columbia, and is remarkable even for a bully whippet in that she has two mutated copies of the gene and is therefore a double-muscled bully whippet who weighs twice as much as a standard whippet. She was the subject of a number of news features in mid-2007, including articles in the New York Times, the UK's Daily Mail, and the Victoria Times Colonist, the latter of which described her thusly: A research article about the mutation that produces double muscling was published in the PLoS Genetics journal. Wendy the whippet passed away in 2017 at the age of 13. (en)
