Spaniels in movies - What is Heen?!

Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite movies ever! Not because I'm particularly into Anime movies, I just love how odd this movie is and my favorite character has to be Heen, the dog! He is the perfect mixture of cute and curious (by this I mean to say that I, for a long time, could not put my finger on what breed of dog he is).
This is Heen
When I started the 'So many to choose from' posts, I came across the Suffolk Spaniel and, even though I haven't watched the movie in ages, I was immediately reminded of Heen! Take a look for yourself!
This side view is what got me!
Now take a look at this picture of Suffolk Spaniel, Clussex Three D Glinchy Glee (show names for you...) that won 'Best in Show' at the 2009 Westminster Kennel Club Show...

Look at the setting of the tail, the face and the short little legs, throw in some Basset Hound and you've got the color (not sure about the pink paws, but let's keep in mind this can go any way - it's Anime after all...). CONVINCED!

  1. I always thought that Heen was half dog, half capybara.
