Dog owners and their pets resemble one another, according to scientific research. According to a 2004 study in the journal Psychological Science, people could connect images of dogs and their owners based just on physical resemblances.
And according to a 2015 study that was published in the journal Anthrozoös, it’s the pairs’ similar eyes that stand out the most. The question of whether or whether people deliberately look for dogs that resemble them is still open.
But one thing is certain: seeing dogs that resemble their owners is common. And we have the evidence. Prepare to be amazed after viewing these 20 similar canine-human pairs!
Reddit user alicethompsoo captured this basset hound and its owner as they were seen strolling through Boston. Their long faces and manner of walking are identical, and they share more than just the same brown, white, and black appearance.

Anyone could find photo inspiration for their next visit to the hairdresser in this dog’s flawless blonde hair. His owner appears to agree wholeheartedly.
