Enter Tonkey, the Insta-famous pup who seems to be part plush toy and part canine. She has recently soared to Instagram fame with her Instagram account, @bearcoat_tonkey. Really, she’s 100% Shar Pei, but followers are convinced she’s got some sort of bear DNA in there. Mondays are for meditation. Why am I here?

The Hungarian Pumi (plural Pumik) just became the 190th dog breed officially recognized by the American Kennel Club. Of course, the breed has been around for a while, but it takes time to get recognized by the AKC, as there's a US population quota and geographic distribution criteria that must be met, among other determining factors. But this adorable pup's finally "official."

The Hungarian Pumi Club of America describes the breed as "an active dog, combining the biddability and intelligence of the herding dog along with the alertness and activity of a terrier," while the AKC calls the breed, "energetic, lively, and ready to work." But most importantly, the dog's absolutely adorable and strongly resembles a teddy bear.
