The Banthapug

When the news was announced that Disney had bought the Star Wars franchise for $4 billion and they would also be making three new films, the internet got angry.

But if anything can restore some faith in this maligned unity, it's the procrastination-inducers of the internet - dogs.

More specifically, it's Chubbs the pug dressed up as Star Wars' fictional animal, the Bantha. In the brilliant video below, the Banthapug carries a Tusken Raider on his back through the deserts of Tatooine.

By now Chubbs should be used to it. He has previously been dressed as a Wampa (Wampug), the abominable snowman type creature whose home is ice planet Hoth (picture 3).

Perhaps this could be Disney's new direction?
