If the Beach Boys were dogs...

[Uncle Jesse]

If each of The Beach Boys were a breed of dog, what would each one be?

Carl would probably be a lab; intelligent, obedient, loyal.  Brian would probably be something like a border collie; absolute genius but with destructive tendencies.  Bruce is obviously a poodle.

Thoughts?

You need to get out more...

[The LEGENDARY OSD]

Myke luHv, though not a purebread by any means, would be defined as part Doberman, in that he traditionally and instinctively goes for the jugular.

[Custom Machine]

Not really an answer to your specific question, but here are the Beach Bowsers at Chuck E. Cheese in 1989. My recollection is that the "act" was featured for roughly 10 years or so.

If The Beach Boys were dogs, we wouldn't be talking about them right now.........

[KC41]

Seriously ?
This is what this board  has become.
Really ?

[SteveMC]

I admit, I laughed but I felt wrong, so wrong.

Bruce is obviously a poodle.

Trying and failing to find online that illustration from Millward's book  which depicts the Boys as animals wading through long grass… Broan's a bear, Al's a duck, Bruce might be a raccoon … I think.

Anyone able to provide a link here?

Yeah, well wait for the next myKe luHv interview to be dumped here and as all Hell breaks loose, it's kinda like a bar room brawl.

Holy lord this is the greatest Beach Boys related picture I've ever seen

Holy cow! I find this picture very disturbing...
1) When was it drawn, and why are Dennis and Carl's eyes blacked out? That is very hard to look at.
2) What is up with the flying animals? What is the duck pointing at?
3) Are they on patrol? Like in the Vietnam war?
4) Zoom in on bear Brian's face. That is terrifying.

What the heck is the story behind this picture?

[Chownow]

And, I didn't even mention Duck Jardine's face... because that is just too disturbing.

[The Shift]

Fabulous, many thanks Allllan; I knew one of the Boys was depicted as a dog but couldn't recall which (just as I couldn't remember the book's author correctly),

(Thanks also for the spec on the turntable you used to capture the image… I didn't know they did that too )

[The Heartical Don]

Easy.

All they would have left us with is the ending segment of 'Caroline, No'.

We would have been salivating over the 5CD box of The Louie And Banana Sessions, and countless cover versions by other canine groups, like the 5 Labradors, the Jack Russell Rousers, and the Poodle Pups.

And there would have been that mythical Lassie Project, unfinished but reconstructed a gazillion times by true aficionados.

And we'd all have been trainspotters gone totally bonkers, with an frighteningly detailed knowledge of the sounds of locomotives in action.

My two cents. I'll get me coat then.

All they would have left us with is the ending segment of 'Caroline, No'.

And all The Beatles would have left us with after that is the ending segment of "Good Morning Good Morning".

Yup. And a new and highly adventurous road in popular music definitely would have been opened.

Alas, history decided differently, and now we're stuck with Kenny G. forever.

[SteveMC]

Amazing. I will now forever think of Al Jardine as a duck.
Brian going fishing for ideas while the others are on tour in the tall grasses and flora.
What if the four ducks in the sky were The Beatles
