Old English Sheepdog 

The Old English Sheepdog (OES) is a large breed of dog that emerged in England from early types of herding dog. Obsolete names for the breed include Shepherd's Dog and bob-tailed sheep-dog. The nickname Bob-tail (or Bobtail) originates from how dogs of the breed traditionally had their tails docked. Old English Sheepdogs can grow very long coats with fur covering the face and eyes and do not shed unless brushed.
What if the Old English Sheepdog became mascot in Dulux ads due to similarities of its fur with a paintbrush or its smooth appearance just like the paint texture?

Sheepdog 

(n) a person that accompanies his friends to a party and tries to consolidate them, keep them out of trouble, holds back girls' hair while they puke, and makes sure they get home safely. Sheepdogs are not necessarily sober, but are distinguished by their genuine concern for their friends, never taking advantage of a girl when she is wasted or leaving.
Drunk Girl: I'm wasted are you wasted?
Sheepdog: I'm tipsy, but I gotta be the sheepdog tonight and make sure my friends get home okay.
Drunk Girl: Aww...

Typically they are band members, wear girl pants and eyeliner, or cry and cut their wrists because mommy didn't love them.

Sheepdog 

1. A person who positions themselves as the “protector” or ally of victims in order to dodge suspicion, scrutiny, or collective blame for the very problem they benefit from or contribute to.
• They loudly decry or “call out” a bad actor or group (e.g., online predators, corrupt officials, toxic workplace culture) not because they genuinely care about the victims, but because it shields them from being lumped in with the accused.
• The performance of sympathy acts like camouflage: by barking at the wolves, the sheepdog convinces the flock that they’re trustworthy—even when their motives are questionable.
2. A rhetorical deflection technique where someone takes a “hero stance” against a hated issue to shift attention away from their own involvement, complicity, or association with it.
He’s not outraged because he cares—he’s sheepdogging to make sure no one suspects him
