How many who saw this cute ad realized the concerned pup wasn’t a mutt, but an uncommon, and centuries old breed?

The dog is a Berger Picard named Chester Gigolo (you can follow Chester on his Facebook page). His breed (also known as the Picardy Shepherd) has been depicted as early as the 14th century and is thought by many to be the oldest of the French sheepdogs. Some even claim the breed came to France with Celtic invaders as early as 400 BC.

Mutt, indeed.
