I remember reading somewhere that people choose dogs like themselves. Do you think this is true? Ive seen many owners who resemble their dogs!

awww thank you! Yea i find dogs do tend to act like their owners and they never seem to forget. I remeber i got a puppy in mexico but then had to go back to england so i left the puppy with my mum 1 year later i returned and she still remembered me and still is the best dog ever :)

I think it is true. I was looking for a company dog and at the end I realized that the dog I was looking for it is a lot like me. I think that, if at the beginning the dog is not like the owner (even tho most of the time it is), after a while it will become like its owner, or be pretty similar as personality with the owner.

I totally agree with you. Its amazing. For example i would see this one lady outside of where i worked and im not sure what kind of dog it was but it was small and pointy lol and then i looked at the lady and her face had very pointy features and you could just tell they acted the same.

Me and My Dog - This is my dog and I at the park one day. She loves my kisses... I don't like her kisses so much ;)
Yes!!! My dog and I look very similar. We're both "pale" and have freckles... and our brown hair is almost exactly the same color... it's kind freaky;)

I know that my dogs match my personality but I do not know about looks. My sister and the dog that she used to have looked alike. It reminds me of the movie ugly dashaund were they show all the dogs and their owners and they look alike, it was very funny.

thats cool :) what is your dog called? i love dogs all animals really i think they really are a great companion
• United States
5 Nov 06
I think they are, some dogs are nasty and I just assume that the owner is the same way, because dogs really are innocent just like babies
• Mexico
5 Nov 06
Yes i definatly think the way we act around our dogs reflect on them. You see it if you go to alot of dog shelters how mistreated dogs are scared to let them touch you. Dogs are innocent they dont go out to harm anyone. They of corse defend themselves like any human would if we were put in a threatning position

well, as age grows they become like their owners in other ways. i am active, and now my dog is old and she is a bit lazy, but when she was younger she was very active.
• Mexico

Yea i can see that. dogs age alot faster for us so of corse they would get tired faster then us. I do believe dogs are a mans best friend. I love them

I guess not all dogs like their owners. If dogs can only choose owner they want, they will be very compatible to each other.

Oh im sure not all dogs like their owners, but i think owners pick dogs similar to them without even relising. I think if dogs could choose their owners that would be awsome to hehe.

Do you think so?
• Mexico
6 Nov 06
Yes i do. It might always be actually physically resembling them but i think dogs and humans can definatly have similar traits or act the same!
