Dog owners that look just like their furry friends
They say that, after a while, people start to look like their pets, so we thought we'd put this to the test! We challenged the public to submit photos of themselves alongside their dog doppelgangers, to see just how many of us have a furry twin.
Here are some of the cutest canine ‘mini-me's in the country!
- The winning picture comes from Matt and his adorable Chow Chow, Simba. Submitted by his girlfriend Sophienne, the pair share a fondness for furry, fluffy layers, as well as the same unimpressed expression. (Matt is the taller one in the photo, in case it wasn’t clear!) Hopefully Matt and Simba will be a little more excited by their prize - a fabulous overnight stay in a dog-friendly hotel.
WINNER Matt, Simba (Chow Chow) - Chester
- Theresa and Reddington the Pug from Glasgow were among the runners up, both appreciating keeping snug with a warm hood.

- Charlotte from Leeds and her Cockapoo, Albert, both have luscious curly brown locks.

- Kenzie the Miniature Maltese and Darren from York are the spitting image of each other, but one of them might have had some help from a mask…

- Louise and Enzo, an Italian Spinoni, from Cardiff have the same focused gaze, as well as similar hair colouring.

As much fun as it is to look at people with their adorable furry friends, there is a bit of science to it too. Some psychologists have suggested that people tend to be drawn to things that remind them of themselves. So perhaps when people choose a four-legged companion, they unconsciously pick one that looks a little bit like them. Either way, this really does prove that dogs truly are man’s best friends!
