It's funny, I've never thought about bull terriers looking like tapirs, but now that you mention it, I can totally see it! Thanks for the comment--glad you like the drawing. They're really neat animals, and it was really fun to draw this one.

How about "Bender?"
I can't help but to think of "Bender is a lone wolf, a solitary eagle! A cuddly baby tapir, and that's why I love him!" whenever I see a tapir.

How about Lord Higglebottom?
He looks like he could easily be an English lord. I imagine him with a bowler and a cane, drinking tea and saying "pip pip!"
He definitely looks like a tapir. I love his sloping back and big round body.
