People Are Saying This Puppy Is A Hybrid Between A Cat And A Dog And It Has The Derpiest Expressions
“Are you a cat person, or a dog person?” If that’s a question you get on a first date, there’s a 50% chance it will be your last. There exist unspoken rules about your domestic animal preference—not only could it change the course of your life (as in the first date example), but it instantly puts you in one of the two schools of life: that of doggos or that of kitties. Just like left or right-handedness, it will stay with you forever.
Trust us, you didn’t see this coming. Apparently, there is an adorable dog who resembles a cat living in Vietnam and he might be the long-needed answer to the eternal split between cat and dog people. People on this subreddit were quick to share conspiracy theories about the breed of this cute puppy. One user claimed “he looks like a cartoon,” and another insisted “it’s a H’mong dog breed.” User u/ryliky confessed that “I don’t care if it’s a cat or a dog. It’s a cuddly gud boi and I want it.”
Pandas, do you have any other ideas what this little catdog could be? Scroll down below to find out what the owners, Hai Anh and Tuan, based in Vietnam, told Bored Panda about their viral cat-dog hybrid!

Some speculate that it might be a hybrid between a corgi and a local Vietnamese breed called Hmong

It’s not surprising if you’re hearing about the Hmong dog for the first time since it’s an ancient breed of Vietnamese native dog originally used by ethnic people in the area. According to Asia Life Magazine, they are considered excellent hunting and guard dogs and have exceptional strength and intelligence. The Hmong dog originates from the mountainous area of northern Vietnam. It’s known for its cute-looking docked tail and a squishy face. Mr. Tran Dinh Thao lives with two black Hmong dogs and states that “they are a very loyal and cute animal.” Apparently, Hmong dogs get along with children very well and are, in general, quite social animals.

Bored Panda contacted Hai Anh and Tuan, the owners of this puppy, and found out that the puppy’s real name is Dúi (“bamboo rat” in English). “It’s been only 5 days since we created Dúi’s fan page and it now has more than 40K likes. The dog now has loads of fans both in Vietnam and around the world,” Hai Anh told us.
And finally, the moment of truth has arrived: is Dúi a cat or a dog? Hai Anh explained that “he is a mix of a native dog breed and a short-legged dog called Dingo. But I think he might have a gene mutation too making him look like some sort of corgi mix. I bought him in a mountain province in Vietnam.”
This mixed breed dog is a happy-go-lucky one and “like every puppy, he likes playing with both humans and dog friends. He is really sweet and funny!” The pictures don’t lie!

The question of whether you’re a cat or a dog person might not simply be a thing of preference. Denise Guastello, an associate professor of psychology at Carroll University in Wisconsin, believes that the preference stems from some of our underlying personality differences. “It makes sense that a dog person is going to be more lively, because they’re going to want to be out there, outside, talking to people, bringing their dog,” Guastello said. “Whereas if you’re more introverted and sensitive, maybe you’re more at home reading a book, and your cat doesn’t need to go outside for a walk.” It suggests that our environments, preferences, and personality traits are deeply intertwined. As a result, we are more likely to pick an animal that fits into our lifestyles.

Very good CGI, but broken physics engine.
Hahaha! Sigh....(in serious voice) I want it.
i want it MORE
Look at his fat little bum... I want to squish it!
Me too. That face!
Would pet, though.
MEANWHILE, AT BETHESDA...
Currently looking up flight prices to Vietnam to cuddle with this cutie!
I
Dammit that pup is cute
Nawww, his fur looks so floofy and squishy.
I don't know what it is, but I want four of them.
it's a dog:)
He is A D O R A B L E!!
he just a derpy derp
Floof over-load! What a beautiful dog!
Shouldn't it look something like this, then ? flat550x55...2a3b00.jpg
Simply a living teddy bear..and seems to be very friendy ;)
As long as it's healthy and not a stupid/greedy breeder designer dog. It's adorable. I hope we can see images as it grows up.
This cat/dog is enough to bridge the gap between the lovers of either.
How stinking cute!
I am pretty sure that is a Pokemon
You can tell he's a happy little guy and that make me happy.
Well, if it's on the bloody roof then it's obviously at Cat. Hmm, Dog. CatDog. Thingy. Whatever. Where can I get one?
The first few pics, it looks like a stuffed animal!
Are the owners of dogs sell them for meat ? This is a custom in Vietnam to eat the flesh of dogs, cats, bats, snakes, pangolin, basikly anything that moves. Same thing in Africa. The dogs do'nt look well kept, why are they chaîne, The yard looks dangerous for the small dogs.
When I hear the words dog, cats and Asian countries, fear runs down my spine: dogs, cats are heinously tortured - boiled - ALIVE, burned to death, their limbs are cut off when alive, those poor creatures die in unconscionable pain. The animals are either bred or stolen , tortured and mercilessly murdered for human consumption, as well as other animals, including exotic. These evil places of horror give rise to all those deadly bacteria and viruses - corona virus, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), bird flu, Swine flu, Ebola. Nothing to admire, nothing to celebrate, only fear.
Little boy soo cute! I want a doggi like him! I love him! Wait, is it a him?
what ever he is, this little chonk is adorable!
That is one adorable chonk.
The Floof is strong with this one.

That pup is adorable, I am confused, I think I see long whiskers, never on a dog though !!!
Whatever he is, he is absolutely adorable!
Built like an English Bulldog. I’m thinking a dwarf something.
Baby Yoda has some competition as the cutest thing on the planet.
Cutest litle bastard evar!
The dog is so cute..the first couple photos had me wondering who spliced the cat and dog together lol. The story itself though I loved the flow of the Web page not clicking a million times a half paragraph on each page. I just wanted to say, very nice story and believe when I say it's been a very long time since I've given a good story rating! Thanks!
It's a Doat
He's a Cuppy! Cat-Puppy! So adorable!! I'm in love!
Not really a possible combo, but is cute as can be.
Adorable - but I wonder how big he'll get?

Cute and derpy but I love cats and dogs for their different behaviour and looks.
I don't know, he kinda looks like a dog/bear. Whatever, he's adorable!
I don't care if he's a dog, cat, bear, or whatever, I need to cuddle this dog.
Adorable canine...very unusual and special. A star in the making and could become an ambassador for dogs everywhere. I hope he will be well cared for and help raise awareness. Sweet little baby.
Of course it's an adorable, unusual canine.. I hope he will be well treated, maybe become star and be a spokesman for helping dogs everywhere. What a character!
O cãozinho /gatinho parece muito feliz, isso é o que importa. The puppy /kitten looks very happy, that's what matters.
He is unbelievably adorable. Maybe the anti-dog meat organizations can use him as their poster dog to stop the monsters who torture and eat dogs in Vietnam. Contact Formula 1 to pressure the Vietnam government to outlaw this beastly practice.
Adorable! Whatever he is!
I need him, xxx
100% chonky gud boi
Im not sure what his breed is, but I’m definitely sure that he is one adorable puppy!!!!!
I need himb!
I have 3 dogs myself and they r beautiful . But this is by far the most beautiful dog I have ever saw!!!
What ever he is there's one thing, he isn't a inbred pedigree. Mongrels are the best pets to have
i want the puppy
my sister loves dogs but also cats and she can never choose one so this is perfect 😵
Corgi/Cattle dog. Very cute❤️
So pudgy! I want to see this pupper when it's fully grown!
Oh, my - this dog has personality!
Really cute, but I would never mistake it for a cat.
I love this little guy!
A perfect answer to "are you a dog person or a cat person" finally!
I need to say this *SQUEAL*😍💕❤♥
Cat, dog, that's specieism. I'd like to see a photo of him in 6 months or so.
That is, indeed, a very cute Pokemon.
I don’t understand why they think he's a cat
Looks nothing like a cat. But still cute!
I love his name and really want to cuddle him.
They should breed that kind of dog for eating... he looks yummy. Oh wait, he's very small, though...
Its an abomination
I'm pretty sure he is broken. Anyone agree?
