I've seen drawings of Rex with feathers. Usually it's just a crown around his eyes and sometimes down the back of his head. It looks kinda badass, actually, but you'd have to be a pretty incompetent artist to make Rex look like a pussy.

I want a pet T-Rex, 100% obediant. Imagine the fun you could have by, say, walking to PETA HQ with that guy and letting it argue the advantages of meat with PETA officials.

Mr T. Rex can be dressed in a Tellytubby outfit and not look like a pussy. :wink:

What the hell kind of dogs do they have in Quebec? All the dogs I've ever seen look like Tyrannosaurs the way I look like Andre the Giant. Is it just a side effect of being around so many French people? And if so, explain the poodle.

Eh, too big. It'd eat too much and would be really difficult to take on walks.

Now, give me a fully domesticated Utahraptor...

Genetically engineered Velociraptor then, that would certainly be nice,

The Andrewsarchus looks more like a guard dog, the biggest mammal to ever live (even if it is related to sheep).

It always looked like a hyena to me, good ol' Andrewsarchus. And, by the way, it's a mesonychid. (a now-extinct group of carnivorous hooved animals)
