Oh yeah, looks totally legit and not photoshopped at all!

Also, I always wear my business best when playing with my 1 ton dog at the park! It only makes sense!

Forgive me if I'm reluctant to email anyone or anything going by "boris-the-bear" at a hotmail address.

File that under "I'm not gonna try it, you try it."

I did try "Boris" + "chow" + "dog" + "large," (and a few other combinations) but couldn't find anything. I was charitably thinking that there may actually be a large chow named Boris out there, even if his size is grossly misrepresented in the obviously 'shopped pic, but nothing remotely out of the ordinary turned up.

Nope, that picture clearly shows the World's Smallest Businessman.

If Kevin is 6 feet tall and Boris is over 8 feet at the shoulder, why is Kevin up past his shoulders? Where is Boris's harness supposed to have come from?

From the Giant Dog Harness Store of course, silly! Except in Russian.

Every time I see a Chow face I miss Frodo, my Chow/Lab mix who died a few years ago.

That sounds like a word problem in math class. But I also wondered where the harness came from too!

Also, Kevin appears to be a HoverMan.

I imagine it'd have a backup beeper and flashing lights.
