shinypiplup Accidentally Hits 400 — With a Grilled Cheese Dog

Tilor announced it on the morning of July 21st: the group was "one dog away from the big 400." By that night, shinypiplup had crossed the milestone — except they'd miscounted and accidentally gone one over, making dog number 401 the accidental landmark. The 400th, however, was something special by accident: a pan-grilled hot dog bun slathered in four globs of melted mozzarella, the wiener barely visible beneath the bubbling cheese. "My 400th dog is extra unhealthy," shinypiplup wrote. "The only condiment is 4 globs of mozzarella that I grilled. I guess I made a grilled cheese."

The overshoot wasn't the first time shinypiplup had miscounted — a night earlier, the same thing happened, prompting the sheepish message "oops. i did one too many." At this point it's practically a shinypiplup tradition. The 400-dog milestone may be a fuzzy number, but the photo of that golden, cheese-draped dog sizzling in a pan at 11:39 PM is crisp.
