On the Internet nobody knows you are a dog, unless you dress up as Batman
By Davey Winder in Editorial

There have been many an Internet maxim over the years. Amongst my favourites must be ‘the Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it’ and ‘the email of the species is more deadly than the mail.’ One which has less impact in these days of an ever increasingly visual web experience is ‘on the Internet nobody knows you are a dog.’ It certainly does not ring true in the case of BatDog, and eleven year old mongrel who dresses up as BatMan and fights crime online from his Isle of Wight home.
BatDog has, I am reliably informed, become the most visited page on the photo blogging website Fotothing where you can follow his adventures as he fights four-legged foes such as BatFool and Dr X.
Perhaps we can amend that old saying to ‘on the Internet, nobody knows you are a BatDog’ though, in the light of the fact that this canine super-hero is a master of disguise. Most recently he can be seen adopting the guise of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
“BatDog is the classic story of a superhero,” said Fotothing spokesperson, Kevin Saidler. “Rescued from a humble background and raised by surrogate parents he defied the odds to become a hero and an inspiration to many!”
