My Dog Looks Like A Bear And Has More Friends Than Me
298Kviews
I like my dog and all, but Tonkey’s rise to fame has got me wondering what she’s got, that I don’t. 8 weeks ago I created Tonkey her own Instagram account for the sole purpose of making friends myself. The way it was supposed to go down: post photo of cute dog, cute dog attracts good-looking friends, good-looking friends want to hang out with me.
But I’ve created a monster— like Victor to Frankenstein— and now Frankenstein’s famous, leaving her creator alone in the shadows. I want to wish my dog nothing but the best in her future endeavours…but it’s tough when your cuddle buddy has left you to eat her dust.
If I could say one thing to my dearest Tonkey, it would be this: I love you, dogchild, don’t forget we started from the bottom; I am trying my best to be happy for you.

Meet Tonkey: she is 100% Shar Pei…
…though many others say she is 100% bear
She lives with her mom, dad, and sister Maxi, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Tonkey has a face that could melt the heart of an ogre
She can also dress to impress
And her hiccups are too adorable
When we go to IKEA she enters “teddy stealth mode”- so we don’t get kicked out
She loves to play peek-a-boo…
And showering is still scary for her
Getting down the stairs is not easy
She makes friends wherever she goes
Tonkey’s face at maximum smoosh. Adorable!
She’s already learning how to fetch the ball!

If you want to "adopt" then find a Shar-Pei rescue in your area.

She is so fluffy, I'm gonna die!!! ;)))
thats what you get when you want friends who are goodlooking only;-)
Break. My. Heart.
Long haired shar pai was my first dog. They are awesome!
I just want to squish that lil face. In a good way of course.
sooo fluffy!!!
awww!
I totally get where you're coming from. I started a blog about my dog thinking it'd be cool to show her off even more than I normally do and document our adventures, however, she's clearly the luring piece. LOL.https://ajerneeofsurprises.wordpress.com/2015/07/17/standing-in-the-middle-of-everything/. Tonkey is too cute and she deserves every like, comment, and moment of adoration!
Right?! We're so not cool, hahaha! Jernee looks like an absolute sweet pea-- closer to you than the lint on your sweatpants?? Love it hahahah!!
Way too cute! Tonkey should win "The Cutest dog in the world" award...
She reminds me of a guinea pig. CUTE.
Or a hippo! lol!
Actually the mad scientist who brought the monster to life was called Victor Frankenstein and the monster remains nameless throughout the whole story, so "like Victor to Frankenstein" is not correct. You could rather say "Like Dr. Frankenstein to his monster" but of course that won't sound as cool, but then again you're wrong. (Apart from that, cute dog!)
I wanted to post this so bad! Thank you for doing it first!
awwee ... i wanna hug her!! >__<
OMG!! The cutest fur baby ever!!! I love her!
At maximum smoosh! awwwww <3
OMG I just died! Tonkey is killing me, that face!!! I saw her pic when searching for Teddy Bear dogs. I just learned that it was a 'thing'. I was looking for Teddy Bear palm trees and got well you know sidetracked.
Adorable.
Droopy?!
looks like guinea pig.
totally adorable
Too cute
Nice breed... May I know where to get this breed of Shar Pei? imported from China?
Are all the breed so docile or is it just her.?
It's so cute ... :D What is his name ? ^^
That is so sweet! Shar Peis are incredibly cute-ugly LOL
I apologize for miss spelling Shar Pei.
I know a few Char Pei Breeders of traditional and horsehair and none of their animals were furry like Tonkey. Cute as she is she's definitely a mix.
100% shar pei from B & B Shar Pei, a CKC registered breeder! The long hair is possible :) http://www.desertmoonshar-pei.com/Shar_Pei_History.html
What kind of dog ic this !!? It has to be a mix.
Its a Shar Pei
but she doesen't look like a bear
She's just another pawn of the patriarchy.
Frankenstein is Victor's last name. The monster had no name.
Someone hasn't seen a bear. This is a beautiful dog, but it doesn't look like a bear. Period.
