Long-Haired Pit Bull's Rare 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Mane Looks Photoshopped

With so many cool, calm, and collected dogs just walking around like they own the place, it takes a real presence to stop traffic. I'm talking about the most confident pups whose aura reads charismatic and self-assured without trying. Not many can pull off something so effortlessly.

King Theodore didn't earn his name by blending in. This long-haired Pit Bull and his epic, rare mane are giving Dog the Bounty Hunter energy all day long. Wait until you see this boy's long, flowing locks blowing in the wind!

Very rare Pitt-Lion

It's Tricky - RUN DMC

As a "very rare Pitt-Lion," Theo's suave look happened via a rare recessive genetic mutation, the FGF5 gene. It's inherited from both parents (one from each), and it controls hair growth.

Not all of them get the full Dog the Bounty Hunter look-and there aren't a lot of these cuties around, but that's OK because King Theo is our newest fearless leader.

The fluffy-haired boy and his equally woolly sister Rosie are instantly recognizable with their mohawk/mullet-styled hair, but also the fluffiest ears in all the land. But wait-there's more!

Despite standing out in a crowd, Theo is just a good boy who happens to sometimes look like a hyena, other times a lion, and every now and then, a majestic beast who commands attention without ever saying a word. Respect!

Take another 11 seconds out of your day and breathe while watching Theo's crimped ear hair gently glide with the wind. I dare you not to feel at least a little happier and a lot more at peace. If it doesn't help, watch it four more times!

How Rare Are Longhaired Pit Bulls?

Dogs like Theo and Rosie are so rare, they're considered "one in a million," which is probably why I've never seen a pup like them before! Often mistaken for mixed breeds, they're 100% Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier, with the added bonus of some envy-worthy locks.

As one obsessed fan put it, "He truly is the most unbothered being I've ever seen! Epic just epic. He [is] so feeling himself!" There's no one else like Theo-not even Dog the Bounty Hunter!
