Mr. Gold caused a fever in "Mr. Hai's Pho Shop", it turned out to be super smart in real life

In the game "Mr. Hai's Pho Shop" is causing a fever, Mr. Gold's dog with a "stupid" face makes netizens excited. But few people know that, in real life, this breed is much more intelligent and mischievous.

In recent days, the name "Mr. Hai's Pho Shop" is covering all social networks, from TikTok to game forums. Although not a player, many people are still curious to learn about this Vietnamese game that caused a "storm" because of the unique combination of horror and humor elements, and a series of bold details of Vietnamese daily life.

The special thing is that this game is not a commercial product of a large studio, but the "brainchild" of a student of Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST). Although there are rumors that this is a graduation project, the author has denied it. He shared happily that he was "not eligible to graduate even though he was old enough" – a phrase that made the online community laugh because it was so honest, reflecting the image of HUST students "learning and being creative at the same time".

In "Mr. Hai's Pho Shop", there is a character that players love extremely much: Mr. Gold (also known as Mr. Vang). Initially, many people thought that this was just a simple design, creating an "excessively funny" shape with an oval head and indifferent eyes. In the game, Mr. Gold also has a rather "naïve" personality – easy to follow strangers, easy to be caught stealing – making many people laugh hard because it is too real.

However, an interesting detail has made the community even more excited: people discovered that in real life there is an identical dog like Mr. Gold, named Tam, raised in a small restaurant in Dong Da district, Hanoi. Tam's image went viral, making netizens question whether the game creator was inspired by this dog.

However, the developer insists that this coincidence is just a coincidence, not intentional. However, the discovery helps many people know that Mr. Gold in the game is actually inspired by a real breed of dog – the Bull Terrier , not a "imaginary" character as many people mistakenly believe.

The Bull Terrier breed has a stocky body, developed muscles, a long and neat head like an egg, and a short silky coat. Their faces often look quite "funny" with small eyes, long snouts and expressions as if they are thinking. It is this characteristic appearance that makes them the "perfect inspiration" for the cartoon character Mr. Gold in the game.

Although it looks "goofy", the Bull Terrier is intelligent and extremely independent. According to Dogster, they often understand their master's commands very well but don't always want to follow them – a "selective" type of intelligence. Many people mistakenly think that this is a "stupid" breed, but in fact they are just "pretending not to know" so as not to obey.

Hill's Pet also describes this as a naughty but loyal breed, and according to I Heart Dogs, these dogs are "clowns in gladiator bodies" – fierce on the outside but their personalities are fun and affectionate.

Therefore, the image of Mr. Gold in "Mr. Hai's Pho Shop" is built humorously and innocently, but it evokes affection and closeness. The more you learn, the more people realize that Mr. Gold is not only a funny supporting character, but also a highlight that makes the game more lively and in-depth.

From a seemingly small game of Polytechnic students, "Mr. Hai's Pho Shop" and Mr. Gold's dog have become a phenomenon that proves the infinite creativity of young Vietnamese.
