A dog that is said to have a face that looks like a human’s has narrowly avoided being put down and is now looking for a new home.

Tonik, a poodle-Shih Tzu cross, was destined for the scrap heap after spending time in a kill shelter in Indiana, USA.

But the odd looking mutt was saved at the last moment and is now available for adoption for a fee of £160 ($250).

The pooch is described by the Mishawaka rescue centre as a ‘very sweet boy who is trying to figure things out and enjoy people’.

The sad looking animal is healthy but the centre did warn it was not suitable for homes with young children.

Not everyone agrees the dog is cute though and it has even been described as ‘spooky’ by some internet users.

He must be of the same ilk as that singer, Just Anne Beeper.

Tonic, er Tonik, looks like Foster Brooks.

He’s The Most Interesting Dog In The World.

Those kids in your photo are just playin'.

Real Goths use a "pinch" collar.

It looks like a dog to me.

“It looks like a dog to me.”

I agree.

With all due respect, that’s not Goth, it’s B&D.

Though I suppose there’s a good deal of overlap in the groups.

Reminds me of a girl from Pittsburgh I used to know...

It’s no my fault.
I swear it’s not my fault.
I only write about genetically modifying rabbits, not dogs.
Dogs are too unpredictable when given speech and intelligence.

Watcha got here is yer basic "Multi-tasking Fetishists."

The old 10-and-2 principle?

[Slings and Arrows]

This a genuine dog story.

Equal time for a human with a dog face:

He looks like a dog. He’s cute, but certainly not creepy.

Gee whiz, the things some people dredge out of their own creepy consciousnesses.

The USSS would like a word with you.

Oh wow, that dog looks just like a dog. I don’t see what they pretend to see.
