Dan Wrexham throws down the gauntlet: "If you've seen a better picture than this picture of a dog dressed as two dogs carrying a present, I don't believe you." I can't think of anything better.

UPDATE: François Arias let us know in the comments that he took this photo! He even sent in a better angle of this excellent dog:

    What really makes this special is that instead of two-people-dressed-as-an-animal (think pantomime horse), it’s one animal dressed as two people.

    • EH

       well now i want to see a dog dressed up as two dogs doing the panto-horse.

  • chris dowden

    I don’t think I want to attempt to quantify cuteness. There’s also a dog dressed as two pirates carrying a chest. Seems to be in wide circulation and Googles well. Fortunately dogs, most of them, have an excellent sense of humor about this sort of thing.

       As opposed to cats who ambush you while you’re sleeping…

      • Brainspore

        I made a box-themed costume for my cat. I just wish I knew if he was still alive in there.

        • Linus Schrewe

           To 50% he is.

        • Thompson11285

          He’s both dead and alive at the same time.

    • Mitchell Glaser

      I have to vote that this one wins because of the added pirateliciousness.

  • Jeroen Donker

    How about a couple of pirates on their way to bury the treasure chest.

    Yo dawg, I herd you like dawgs…

  • franko

    speaking of costumes, i just saw this yesterday, and it was a new, clever idea to me:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vJoJOHR5o4

  • darren_gough

    Sheesh, i submitterated this many months ago, I guess the time was wrong.

    Can i recommend this catcam video instead? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f5b_1354208440

    • dayhat

       I liked dogs carrying presents before it was cool.

      I’ve never had any love from the Submitterator, myself.

      Stopped bothering.

    • Jake0748

      Yeah, I don’t think the submiterator does anything.  Its just like those toys they put in kid’s play pens.  “Here kid, this’ll keep ya busy for a while”.

      • corydodt

        For a while I was seeing “via submitterator” on the blog posts. Either it stopped happening or I stopped noticing it, but it was pretty infrequent in any case.

    • Mitchell Glaser

      Yeah, I’ve dreamed about getting something I submitted up on BB too. I came close once: I made a comment on a BB post that prompted Maggie to create a post on her blog. Someday, though, I will be heard.

    came here to congratulate dean on a successful post!

    “If you’ve seen a better picture than this picture”

    You can stop right there: I haven’t

  • Brood-X

    How about one dog dressed as two dogs one of which is sniffing the other dog’s butt.

  • http://paulstonier.com/ pstonier

    Haha. This is awesome.

  • http://twitter.com/Paco15 François Arias

    One day I hope to be credited for taking this picture :’D
    Hell with it, I might just as well give you another one  http://imgur.com/sLCTS

    • wysinwyg

       Make some noise, Dean will probably update the post.  Great pictures.

    • http://deansli.st/ Dean Putney

      You took this? Where and when was it taken? Do you have a higher res image? I’ll totally credit you!

  • wobinidan

     It’s vitally important to credit the creator of an image – unless you can’t be bothered, in which case who cares.

    Wasn’t this all over twitter about 3 or 4 months ago? 

  • Brainspore

    I want to see someone do this with a dachshund so we can make “wiener in a box” jokes.

    they sell costumes for dags that have the dogs as Pirates holding  a treasure chest

  • sburns54

    So who did they give the gift to?
