My Puppy Looks So Much Like A Human Strangers Ask If He’s Actually A Dog’

Wouldn’t it be great if our dogs actually looked and spoke like human beings? They would truly be our best friends in that scenario. Anyway, you must have come across dogs who don’t really look like dogs. But, have you ever come across a puppy that looked like a human? Natasha Matson of Lincoln believes that people around her always think her canine is a human. Winston, her puppy, is a five-month-old cockapoo that definitely has a reputation for itself! 

Winston- The Humane Dog

Natasha did mention, “Whether it’s when we are out in public with Winston or people commenting on his photographs on social media, we always have people telling us that they are convinced Winston is a person and not a dog.

Needless to say, such a popular puppy has his own Instagram- after all, ‘if you got it, you flaunt it.’ Natasha’s partner Joe Holyhead, and Natasha had previously brought Winston as a puppy during Christmas Eve, and then put him up on social media. But never in a thousand years would they have guessed the comments that came along with it. 

Natasha thinks that the comments are quite hilarious. “People can’t believe how much he looks like a human. It’s hilarious. He regularly pulls human-like expressions, using his big green eyes, it actually looks like he’s smiling at me or purposefully posing for a picture. The way that Winston lays on the sofa is funny too because it just looks like a person is sitting on the couch with us.”

All that’s left at the moment is for Winston to stand on two legs, and walk in a three-piece suit. And the dog will completely shatter Instagram.

Brian From Family Guy has Nothing On Winston!

Can we blame Natasha and her boyfriend for milking the popularity that comes with having a dog that looks like this?

We love to dress him in adorable outfits and he loves wearing them. It also means he gets even more attention when we are out on walks which is always a good thing for Winston.

Lest you miss out on it, Natasha does spoil her dog to a whole new degree. Winston is nothing short of a model and has his own jumpers, hoodies, fleeces, and harnesses which he absolutely loves to strut in. Currently, the Insta-famous dog’s favorite thing to do is walk around woodland and play with several other dogs. 

When they first met, the chocolate button nose of Winston drew on the heartstrings of Natasha. Winston’s unique coloring made the dog even more special. Natasha claims that it “makes him look more human because it almost gives him a bit more structure to his face.”

Now, we know that being an Insta model can be a full-time job. Winston absolutely loves the attention that he receives. In fact, he now has a collection of clothes that makes him look more like a human. “When he is dressed in trendy human-like items of clothing, I think this also adds to him looking even more like a person.

Well, Natasha has definitely taken a “man’s best friend” to a whole new degree. And her dog epitomizes that! Check out her Instagram for all of Winston’s pictures
