At first glance, many may assume that the image has been manipulated. However, the photograph is genuine and depicts a real animal. On the other hand, the claims in the photograph&#8217;s caption are inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>According to a July 2007 <a class=\"norm\" title=\"Meet the Incredible Hulk of Hounds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/pages\/live\/articles\/news\/news.html?in_article_id=467985&amp;in_page_id=1770\">Daily Mail article<\/a>, the hulking canine in the photograph is a whippet named Wendy who was born with a genetic defect which caused her to grow larger and much more muscular than others of her breed:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the size of those of a normal whippet, her gene defect means she is &#8220;double muscled&#8221;.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>She weighs 4st4lb &#8211; twice as much as she should &#8211; and has bulging neck muscles, burly shoulders and haunches like a baboon.
