Cat Named ‘Dog’ is Vietnam’s Most Beloved Fish Vendor

An adorable 3-year-old cat became an instant online sensation for helping his human sell fish at a market in Vietnam.

Wittingly named “Dog” by his owner Le Quoc Phong, the well-dressed kitty spends most of his time using his cuteness to earn a living.

While Dog is quite popular in Vietnam as well as neighboring countries Thailand and China, he is also gaining followers from around the world after being featured on multiple online sites.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Le Quoc Phong revealed that Dog loves ice cream, traveling and sleeping.

“He also has a lot of girlfriends and a lot of children in the country,” Le was quoted as saying. “My little cat loves taking pictures. He’s also very cooperative when wearing the costumes.”

When not selling fresh seafood, Dog spends his time relaxing or playing like a regular cat.

According to Le, Dog got his unusual name because he behaves and breathes more like a dog than a cat.

Dog can be seen with his mouth open in many of his photos, which Le posts on his Facebook and the Dog’s own Instagram account.

Responding to critics who comment that Dog may be uncomfortable in the clothes he wears, Le said: “Dog feels very cozy and can walk normally.”
