Do you know the legend of the hellhound? According to ancient lore, this wicked beast stalks the night. It walks on all fours. Its eyes glow. Its fangs drip with the blood of its victims.
It’s also a whole lot of hooey. The legend of the hellhound likely stems from primitive humans’ fear of the wolf.
Even though we’re civilized now and firmly on top of the food chain, the legend of the hellhound persists to this day, largely because of misleading phodography.
For instance, take the dog below. Though quite hellhound-ish in appearance, this pup is really just yawning, which any seasoned dog lover could tell you.
So let’s take a look at some other pics that misleadingly contribute to the theory of the hellhound. Or, as I like to call it, “17 Dogs So Crazy People Think They Come From Another Dimension!”
