Bailey the Golden Retriever Is the Canine Darling of the Internet

Bailey, a Golden Retriever, is convinced that she’s a human! She adopts convincing human poses. It’s just an act, though. She doesn’t actually know what she’s doing. Notice that the iron isn’t plugged in! It’s going to take her a long time to flatten out that shirt.

Artist Cassius Marcellus Coolidge gained fame by painting dogs playing poker and pool. Bailey participates just because it’s fun. Don’t step into her game! She’ll clean you out.

But poker winnings aren’t enough to pay the mortgage. Bailey has to earn a living. She’s a blogger, of course. Like our own Zeon Santos, she gives a convincing impression of being a human.  As the classic New Yorker cartoon says, on the internet, no one knows that you’re a dog.

One image of Bailey inspired the popular internet meme known as Redneck Retriever.
