Ikea Dog in Catalogue: Human-like Appendage is Dog’s Leg or Male Penis
Funny JunkThis is the first photo that appears in the Ikea 2007 catalogue, on a a two-page front-cover foldout, which shows a young family lounging on a bed with a dog, probably a greyhound or whippet.
Can you see anything in the photo other than the furniture that Ikea famous for? The photo shows a well-endowed male greyhound with a larger-than-normal, human-like appendage which seems to have one distinctly human male characteristic, and that’s human-sized penis.
Still unable to find where is it? Well, don’t look at the photo below at work or with children.
Wondering why such a photo can appear on the new Ikea catalogue without proper checking? There is suggestion that the image had been altered by a disgruntled and mischievous employee using a program such as Photoshop to include the “Swedish Sausage”, as dubbed by a blogger.
However, Ikea has denied that the “unfortunate” photo had been tampered with and said that the appendage in question is in fact the dog’s leg that “has an unfortunate resemblance to something else.”
IKEA Canada public relations manager Madeleine Frick said “It is an uncanny likeness”, while Ikea Sweden spokeswoman Eva Stal said that “It really is just a dog with its leg on the couch – nothing else.”

About the Ikea dog pic. I was looking at it closely. Rest assured, it is neither a sexual appendage nor a dog’s leg, but the dog’s tail draped over his foot. The light simply catches it funny. It is obvious if you look just a little bit closer or perhaps use a magnifying glass.

Scarlet – I am not in the habit of peering closely through a magnifying glass at things that look like a penis – I think that comment says something about you that perhaps you would have been wiser not to have posted on here!!!!

The “head” of the so-called penis is the dog’s knee joint. Its leg is bent with its knee resting alongside its belly, and the lighting is simply highlighting muscle tone, not the curvature of a human penis. Sometimes, I think people only see what they want to see…
