If I had a dog, it would absolutely have to be this breed. [Via Core 77 and Comunicadores]

…and name it “pixie” or “jaggy”.

A dog that your landlord will approve.
No walks, no mess, no feeding. No jumping up on the bed at inopportune moments.
Time to go buy the jumbo box of legos and get to work.

When I first saw the picture I genuinely thought it’s a censored dog! (well, to be fair they are butt-naked all the time)
IMO it’s cuter than Sony’s cyberdog thing, so we can’t blame Veronica!

Lego instructions please, Ryan.
I really hope there isn’t a dog entombed inside that thing…

I don’t think it’s legos!

You’re right, not legos (as can be seen from the construction process on the linked page), but similar idea. Probably simpler with legos! Here are some lego dogs, and the problem is that they are not “pixelated” enough!

Here is another picture of the actual lego dogs:
