Bayley is a black and white Mini Sheepadoodle - a crossing an Old English Sheepdog with a Miniature Poodle - compared to Snoopy who is a beagle.

The uncanny resemblance is down to the two doggo's sharing strikingly similar features such as white face and muzzle, floppy black ears and a cute black button nose.
