Can someone please explain how this site came to be called "the sleeping dogs" and the origin and history of that fantastic image of that cute puppy in some sort of nappy laying on its back. Thank you.

It was made in homage to the original Sleeping Dogs site that was hosted on Forumotion back in the day, free hosting and adverts as well as brigading complaints as should be expected during a forum war. Shine admin'd me and handed over the founder account a short while after I joined, complaints hit with a three week take down notice from the hosts so I started the site here, cleared the old site only for Shine to take it back over after he got banned from here within a week.

Hectic days.
