Calling all cute pet lovers, i.e., everyone.
The Instagram account for a certain Mini Sheepadoodle named Bayley is going viral, thanks to the adorable black-and-white pooch’s astounding and uncanny resemblance to Snoopy, the canine mascot for the Peanuts animation troupe.
Bayley, who according to the pup’s Instagram page will be two years old next month, sports the same oblong face as Snoopy, along with the exact same color distribution — a white face and muzzle, lovable round black nose and furry, floppy black ears.

The pooch is also surprisingly photogenic, posing calmly for perfect photos and video throughout the pet-centric social media page.
While Snoopy is known to be a beagle, Bayley’s breed of Mini Sheepadoodle — the result of crossing an Old English Sheepdog with a Miniature Poodle — has resulted in a near carbon copy of the drawn animal, in real life.
Snoopy is the famously silent dog that originated in the “Peanuts” comic strip by Charles M. Schulz in October of 1950. He also appeared in various “Peanuts” television specials, and has been a fixture as a giant balloon in New York City’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
