A typical example of Advice Dog depicts a cute puppy’s face against the background of a color wheel, often accompanied by unrelated advices and ridiculous instructions (ex: Do the laundry / Rob a bank). Since its debut, the series has spawned off several spin-offs, most notably the Philosoraptor, Courage Wolf and Socially Awkward Penguin. Encyclopedia Dramatica claims that the original image of puppy+rainbow was first posted in a Mario fansite forum thread in September 2006 by a user named “TEM”. It also claims that the real pet name of Advice Dog is Boba Fett, a Star Wars character portrayed as a bounty hunter hired by Darth Vader. The sources of these claims however remain unverified. Based on the popularity of Advice Dog series, pairing bluntly offensive statements or careless advices with animal icons have grown into a distinct genre within the world of image macros.
