Reports of a baby lion stalking the streets of Norfolk, VA were put to rest when the animal in question turned out to be a 3 year-old Labradoodle.

A 911 caller told Norfolk police yesterday that a small lion was wandering one off the city's main streets "possibly looking for food," according to the Virginian-Pilot. After confirming that the Virginia Zoo's two lions were accounted for, police went to the scene and discovered that the "lion" was Charles the Monarch, a dog shaved to look like the mascot of Norfolk's Old Dominion University. The labradoodle is a popular member of the ODU fanbase and can be seen at tailgates on game days.

Charles has his own facebook page too. He is adorable!

ETA: And do people not realize that lion cubs do not have manes? Wait, don't answer that. ;-)

I can't stand the way they've shaved that poor dog, but still...the stupid, it burns.

You should have seen the Anderson Cooper episode I saw over Christmas (adorable when Anderson Cooper casually kissed one of the 'guest dogs' on the head). Anyway, there was 'extreme grooming' and one poor standard poodle had been cut and dyed to look like a PANDA! (And it did!)

I've seen examples of extreme grooming before, and I have to say, I always just feel bad for the dogs. Even when it's technically impressive, it creeps me out.

I'm with you. Poor pup - he looks ridiculous!

At least the 'Essex Lion' was a cat.
