I don't know - he definitely looks more TEAM JACOB to me! 
Zack, King of Dogs, 1996 to 2010
Zack lived a full 14 years, even to the end.
The joy and memories he provided us will last a lifetime.
Surviving him is his sister, Izzy, a 12-year-old boxer mix quadpawd.
And the latest addition, Zula, an 11-month-old pit bull mix tripawd.
I love all these scary photos – what a great contest! Well here's mine, if you can call 2 goldens scary – but just look at their teeth. I certainly wouldn't want to put my hand in between these two mouths of babes .

Thanks Comet dog – now you don't have to friend me on Facebook! Bwahahahah!
P.S. This would be Kobe and Mackenzie in case you didn't recognize them.
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Oh great now I have to be friends with you on facebook!
I tried to fix you photo but you are missing some of the properties. Remember to grab it all – it should end with a .jpg
Sammy's mom - you are still in the running for the "cutest scariest dog" ! But you know you'd win hands down for "the most adorable smile" contest!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Found some from a while ago. Vamp-dog Zorion.
Zorion – my 3-legged Kelpie. Joined the world of Tripawds on May 6th after a bad dislocation and failed FHO. Loving life as a Tripawd. Still capable of working sheep (and horses unfortunately) and loving having a sister now.
Jenny – my 4-legged Labrador. Obedience titled and loving being part of my family again, and enjoying teaching Zorion some manners.
It never occured to me there could be vampire dogs.... now I'm scared!
Great one of Fortis's friend, and the little Zorion dog, made me laugh, first scary then the "blank look" of I am thinking up new stuff!
Aww cometdog, I do feel better, because if it was cutest scary dog it would have to be Mckenzie and Kobe. I just want to reach through the camera and hug them.
Sammy's smile is the brightest though, I have to agree, he is too adorable for words 🙂 Thanks!
My friends at work say Cometdog and gator-mouth Loki are the ones to beat so far!

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Here's a photo of Julian that is not so much scary as creepy or disturbing. He hasn't grown into his eyelids yet (too much loose skin) so he has "googly eyes" in this picture.
Pam
OMD! Googly eyes! How cute!
P.S. Pam, it's not you or photobucket, there's a glitch if the pic is big. I do a work around and put the pic in twice and one shows up. If you edit your post, you'll actually see two photos and yet only one is visable.

That is HILARIOUS! LOL! What a cutie 🙂 Makes me want to hug him like mad. I love puppies and especially "googly eyed" ones

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Cute Chloe!
Rugby's lip used to get stuck, too. I couldn't figure out if it was serious cotton mouth or just "a thing" he'd do. Gawd, he'd look like a dufus!
Every one's pics are so great!
You know I'd be remiss if I didn't post an ugly scary monkeybutt pic!

Ok so Chloe is a pretty mellow dog, but she does make some funny faces. Not necessarily scary, but I decided to post this. I have no idea why her upper lips are tucked in her teeth. She did not bark, there were no dogs, she just made this silly face... maybe scary?
Not scary, but really cute!

Chloe'smom, I am probably going to be one of those "weird aunts" that want to squish the kids face. I know this about myself and admit it if necessary. I feel that way about Chloe, what an amazingly pretty and squishy face! A complete doll 🙂
Cometdog, monkeybutt is absolutely intimidating... to a blade of grass, lol! What an adorable, scruffy puppy. I just want to do a little huggin' and lovin' on him/her. Not sure if Monkeybutt is male or female, but regardless what a wonderful dog!
Sammy and family

Ah well I guess she has a "squishable" face. Sometimes kittens/puppies just look so cute that I just want to hug their cuteness as much as possible! So I do understand the "squishy" face.
I don't know why but whenever I look at that picture of her I just crack up! I guess I have to come to terms with the fact that Chloe makes cute, funny faces rather than scary ones. I'll pass along the compliments to Chloe for those of you who said she was cute!

This one is of my mastiff Titan who carries around basketballs. I ask him to give mommy "kisses" and managed to take a picture of it. It can be scary when you see this coming at you! LOL!
