The 911 caller reported that the baby lion was walking down Colley Avenue, possibly looking for food, near 50th Street. So police called the Virginia Zoo around 10:15 a.m. to make sure the lions were all accounted for, said Winfield Danielson, a zoo spokesman.
Mramba, the male lion, and Zola, the female, were in their habitats.
As it turns out, it was Charles the Monarch that was out and about.
Neighborhood regulars know Charles, who hangs out with his owner at Daniel Painter's business, Daniel's Lawn & Garden Center, on Colley Avenue.
Charles is a cross of Labrador retriever and poodle shaved to look like the mascot of Old Dominion University.
He likes to dine at University Pizza.

Looks more like a sheep than a lion.

That caller needs to watch the Nature Channel or Nat’l Geo. a little more.

I can see why they might think it was a young lion at a distance like say 100 yards.

People will ask my vet to do that haircut on their cats too. It’s pretty funny.

Except that baby lions don’t have manes

This is why I shave my dog to look like a chupacabra in order to avoid any confusion...

Is it just me who thinks it’s weird (perhaps even spooky) that dup-posts concerning a story about a lion-shaved dog would appear within 2.5 minutes of each other? :)
To: RoosterRedux
If I were a dog shaved to look like that I’d probably run away........
