This Tiny Puppy's 'Mustache' Is Probably Better Than Yours

Salvador Dolly the rescue pup is stealing hearts and putting men to shame across the nation with her striking curly “mustache.”

The 5-week-old cutie was born with a black strip of fur above her top lip, bearing resemblance to Spanish artist Salvador Dali and his impressive ’stache, and possibly landing her amongst the likes of Tom Selleck, Ron Burgundy and Hulk Hogan in the mustache hall of fame.

Kurt Vonnegut

A heavily mustachioed man with a wild mop of curly hair, Slaughterhouse-Five writer Kurt Vonnegut is a scruffy symbol of the '60s and '70s counterculture movement -- something the author touched upon in several of his works. So great was his facial hair that many celebrate <a href="http://www.observer.com/2007/it-s-vonnegut-day" target="_hplink">"Vonnegut Day." </a>The author espoused human kindness and love, and we adore that mustache.

Shakespeare

Between the bearded witches in Macbeth and actors portraying women -- complete with facial hair and five o'clock shadows -- it's pretty clear that Shakespeare was brazen about all things bewhiskered. Even though there's no written account of his actual appearance, we can assume his mustache was droopy and lovely from the many representations created over time.

Gustave Flaubert

"Madame Bovary" author Gustave Flaubert <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=TegPAAAAYAAJ&pg=PR45&lpg=PR45&dq=Gustave+Flaubert+mustache&source=bl&ots=mOLRt2WFAa&sig=R20mP_LcpKOYPFyVRyKRwUxuPn0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6YEYT4yUHYHo0QHz2cS8Cw&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Gustave Flaubert mustache&f=false" target="_hplink">has described himself </a>as a "full-blooded" and "large-limbed" man, which may explain why he grew an enormous, drooping mustache. (Symmetry!) Flaubert was so bonded to his facial hair, that when he shaved it off as a young man, he lamented its loss <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Letters-Gustave-Flaubert-1830-1857-v/dp/0674526368/flavorpill0e-20" target="_hplink">in a letter to his mother:</a> "... My poor beard, bathed in the Nile, blown by desert winds, long perfumed by tobacco smoke!"

Mark Twain

Mark Twain's trademark white suit and mustache to die for makes him one of the most memorable fuzzy faces for lit fiends. The humorist and satirist's greatest work wasn't "Huckleberry Finn," it was grooming that gorgeous stache for the entire world to enjoy. Also, mind the eyebrows.

William Faulkner

Always impeccably groomed and dressed to impress, Faulkner's image was made all the more grand because of his fine mustache. His iconic pipe wouldn't have the same kind of character without his neat whiskers. The whole ensemble makes the Southern Gothic scribe a true poet patrician.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

"The Gambler" was a somewhat autobiographical account of Dostoevsky's addiction to roulette, which is why we wonder if the Russian writer was describing himself when he wrote about the General <a href="http://magister.msk.ru/library/dostoevs/dostf13e.htm" target="_hplink">in his short story.</a> "Still of imposing appearance and presence, as well as of fair height, he had a dyed moustache and whiskers ... and a handsome, though a somewhat wrinkled, face." Sound a little like the literary giant?

"Mr. Bloom glanced from his angry moustache to Mr. Power's mild face and Martin Cunningham's eyes and beard, gravely shaking." -- "Ulysses"
