Bacon has a flair for the dramatic — just look at his face!
The Pekingese/dachshund/Chihuahua/Shih-tzu mix lives in Tampa, Florida, with his owner Meg, who had a hard time believing this expressive creature was even real.
“We worked with Sam Ivy Dog Training out of Tampa and it was literally night and day. As our dog trainer said, you don’t like everyone you meet, so why should your dog (which I can relate to on a serious level). Now he listens and can perform all the basic commands plus dancing, high-fiving, shaking and (my personal favorite) sitting like a meerkat. As we worked on his training, his real personality was unleashed. He is a goofy, treat-loving dog who loves to snuggle and go on walks,” Meg says.

While his owner assures that Bacon still has some “sass,” most of it is now healthily expressed through the dog’s extreme facial expressions, which Meg knew would be perfect for anInstagram account(he has nearly 20,000 followers!).
“People love to say that he looks like different celebrities. My personal favorite comparisons are: Samuel L. Jackson, William H. Macy, Mark Hamill and Peter Dinklage,” Meg shares. “I would say the best part is how much he makes people laugh. To think a little abandoned meanie like him has made so many people smile is amazing.”

The crazy, grumpy, confused faces Bacon comes up with seem to be his followers’ faves, but for Meg, it’s all about Bacon’s happy face.
“I love when his ears are all the way forward and he has a huge smile.”
