Snoopy in real life: dog named Bayley is the cartoon dog’s identical twin

Everyone adores Snoopy, one of the most well-known cartoon dogs in the world and Charlie Brown’s intrepid pet beagle.

The internet is currently obsessed with a real-life pet dog named Bayley who looks just like Snoopy.

There is an eerie similarity. Despite being a Mini Sheepadoodle and Snoopy being a beagle, Bayley’s white body and black ears make her seem like Snoopy’s twin.

The Instagram page @doodledogsclub published a picture of Bayley beside the adored Peanuts pet, referring to her as “the spitting image of Snoopy.” This post caused Bayley to become well-known overnight.

The account stated, “Bailey is the perfect real-life version of our favorite cartoon dog, with those big ears and that button nose.” On Instagram, the picture has gotten more than 1.2 million likes.

With more than 180,000 followers on Instagram, Bayley is also a prominent figure on the platform.

The page is updated by Bayley’s owners with pictures of the adorable dog having the time of her life. In one video, the dog is shown sipping from a Starbucks “pup cup.”

As per the page, Bayley will turn 2 shortly because her birthday is May 4, 2021.

A mix between a small poodle and an old English sheepdog, Bayley is a mini sheepadoodle. The hybrid breed is renowned for having a joyful and amiable temperament.

Since his 1950 comic strip debut, Snoopy has become one of the most well-known characters in the world. However, the real dog named Spike, who belonged to Peanuts author Charles M. Schulz, served as the inspiration for the character.

Lassie’s Timmy Finally Spills the Juicy Secrets of TV’s Beloved Dog

For almost twenty years, many of us remember watching the adventures of TV’s most famous dog – Lassie.

This beloved Rough Collie and her human friends were on our screens for 17 seasons, from 1954 to 1973. The show even switched from black and white to color in the 1960s.

But one of the most unforgettable parts of the show was when 7-year-old Timmy Martin joined in the fourth season. Timmy and his family adopted Lassie, creating some of the most memorable moments in the series.

Jon Provost, who played Timmy on *Lassie*, just celebrated his 74th birthday. He looks back fondly on his time filming with his four-legged co-star and remembers how Hollywood discovered him at only 3 years old.

The actor, born in Los Angeles, recalls that when he was 3, his mom took him to an audition for a Jane Wyman movie. She was a huge fan and just wanted her autograph. But out of 200 kids, Jon got the part.

Acting wasn’t something that ran in the family. Jon’s father had a completely different job—he was an aeronautical engineer.

“My parents weren’t Hollywood people,” Jon said. “My father is from Alabama, and my mother is from Texas.”

At age 4, Jon Provost landed a role in a movie with Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby.

“I didn’t have an agent at the time. After that, I got one, and it led to more movies like *The Country Girl* with Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly. I did about 12 movies before I started *Lassie*,” he told Fox News.

Jon also shared memories of working with the three different male dogs who played the role of Lassie. He said he formed a special bond with the last dog who portrayed the famous female collie.

“I did the show for seven years, filming 249 half-hour episodes. I worked with three different Lassies,” Jon Provost told Fox News.

He shared that the last dog he worked with was by his side for five years straight. “We grew up together. For five years, we saw each other five days a week, and sometimes even on weekends.”

Jon also revealed how well-behaved the dog was on set. “The actors made more mistakes than the dog,” he laughed. “They were more of a problem than Lassie.”

After leaving *Lassie* at 14 years old, Jon Provost went on to star with big names like Natalie Wood and Kurt Russell. Despite growing up in Hollywood, he avoided the common pitfalls many child actors face.

“My parents let me pretty much do what I wanted to do. I didn’t have to take a job,” Jon said.

Looking back, he added, “When I left Hollywood, I thought it was good that I did.”

Today, Jon lives away from the spotlight in Northern California but still receives fan mail from his time on *Lassie*. In 1994, he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The character Lassie became so famous that she even had her own radio series.

In 1979, Jon married Sandy Goosens, and they had two children, Ryan and Katie. However, after 14 years of marriage, they divorced in December 1993.

In 1999, Jon found love again when he married Laurie Jacobson, a well-known researcher and author.

I’ve always been a big fan of the adventures this sweet duo went on. And with a moral in every episode, it was the perfect show for kids.

Please share this with all the *Lassie* fans you know.
