Do pets resemble their owners and vice versa..? Give me your thoughts.

Father & Son look alikes - Isn't it funny how this dog looks like his owner.

Some say pets and their owners often look alike. I don't think it's anything but coincidence. But some do seem to..check out this "Father and Son" photo....lol I don't think Gizmo and I look alike..do you (see avitar), well ok maybe in the nose area...lol

I would have to have some seriously strange features for this to be true. I own two dogs, by default (my sister can't keep them, no one else will take them) and three cats. If I could choose, I would like to look like the cute fluffy one, or maybe the long sleek one, or have the energy of the bouncy one. I agree, resemblances are just coincidence. Now I have heard that people do resemble their spouses after awhile. . .

Yes, I've heard that too. I have seen older couples that look kind of like brother and sister.. Maybe there's something too it. I noticed it alot when working in nursing homes when I was younger.

I have over a dozen dogs which I personally took care from the day they were born. In term of physical appearance we have nothing similar. In terms of attitude we have a lot in common. Pets specially dogs like to emulate their owners. I find it very funny and I don't know if they were trained to mimic or they simply want to tease me?!

I have seen that on t.v. sometimes. And sometimes that is what draws a person to a dog is a certain resemblence.

Oh my dog behaves like me. And in terms of appearance, there is a slight resemblence. It's the kind of look we both have on our faces. We both look quite cheeky.

I do believe this is true for some people and their pets. My sister and her ex-boyfriend had this dog and he and her ex-boyfriend looked alike. No joke! I wish I would have been able to take a picture of them when she was dating him because if you seen it you would be amazed. My sister has the dog now but when they were dating it was his dog. He was going to take him with him when they broke up but where he lives you have to climb a steep staircase to get to his apartment and the dog was such a big baby he was afraid of the stairs. Still is actually. And this dog is huge. He's one of those Great Parineese. I don't know if I spelled that right, lol.:)
