Snoopy has a twin!

Everyone’s favorite cartoon pooch now has a real-life replica after a dog has gone viral for its eerie resemblance to the “Peanuts” character.

Bayley, a black and white Mini Sheepadoodle, sports a pair of black ears and a large black snout on top of her mostly white-coated body, making her a dead ringer for Snoopy.

The sheepadoodle has gained attention this week after Doodles Dog Club featured the canine alongside the cartoon dog claiming the pooch is going viral for the similarities.

“Meet Bayley.Sheepadoodle, the spitting Image of Snoopy,” read the caption on the post, which has been like over 1 million times. “With those big ears and that button nose, Bayley is the perfect real-life version of our favorite cartoon dog.”

Bayley.sheepdog, the account that features Snoopy’s doppelganger, has over 157,000 followers as of Thursday morning and shares the cute dog posing for various photos and videos, while many different sound effects play in the background.

On Tuesday, Bayley’s owners celebrated National Pet Day by sharing a video of Bayley giving “paw” with the caption “Happy National Pet Day. Mom says I am the cutest pet she has ever seen but to be fair, I am her first and the only furbaby.”

The account, which has posts dating back to October 2022, has Bayley listed as a two-year-old pooch with her birthday on May 4, while being based in the USA.

The Miniature Sheepadoodle is an Old English Sheepdog-Mini Poodle mix, that has an average height of 20 inches and can weigh up to 45 pounds, according to the dog adoption agency Premier pups.

“Kind, cuddly, merry, and gentle, Mini Sheepadoodle puppies are truly sweethearts,” the breed’s profile reads. “They are generous in affection, attentive, obedient, and love to impress their human family by any means.”

In November of last year, a post showed, what is believed to be images of Bayley’s “pawrents” showing a black, brown, white Poodle and a white, grey Sheepdog along with the photo of the Snoopy lookalike.

Snoopy, the lovable beagle who originally rose to fame when he debuted in the “Peanuts” comic strip in 1950, later found himself animated in television, movies, and a flagship balloon every year in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.

Many of the commenters under Bayley’s posts gush over the cuteness of the dog, including from accounts of other dogs.

“Can confirm, you’re pretty darn cute,” said Poppy, the Leggy Italian Greyhound.

“Snoopy! You’re real!” wrote a human Instagram user.

Snoopy has made headlines recently, after the American Red Cross started an event where people who signed up to give blood between April 1 to April 15, would get an exclusive “Red Cross + Peanuts (Snoopy) shirt.”
