This news release is old, but I came across it today and thought some of the many freeping dog lovers could relate.
My setter Lucy is much better looking than I am.

Now I understand why my cat is ornery.

I took part in such a study once. Asked to match six owners and dogs, I got all six wrong. The study still showed that owners and dogs resembled each other. Makes me wonder about the statistics of the study.

So I guess we can assume Harry Reid owns a weiner dog.

Which of your dogs (Pippin or Tango) do you look like?

"My setter Lucy is much better looking than I am." My two boys got all the brains and the good looks.
I just pay the vet bills and scoop the poop.

My 6 year old son insisted that any dog we got had to look like him. No matter what sog I showed him it never looked right. About six months ago I saw an ad for a free cream lab puppy. His pictures were cute, so we went to get him. Now, we always tease my son about having a long tongue (he can touch his nose). We met this dog and he just seemed so much like our son somehow. We knew it was a perfect match when the man giving him away said about the dog, "He has the longest tongue I have ever seen on a dog."

I don't know how it can really be a result of "selection" when most of us are picking babies, who don't quite look just as they will most of their lives and w/in a year.
If we all picked out adults, well, that might be different. I've only ever picked out babies. Though I must admit, both my GS girls have been gorgeous w/fine chiseled features. ;-)

The only time I picked a dog by breed (as opposed to the dog picking me or by adopting a mutt), the long, blondish hair was the only thing we had in common. How I wish I were so elegant, slender and lovely as my dear collie was!

The research, by Michael M. Roy and Nicholas Christenfeld, both of the University of California, San Diego, found that when people pick a pet, they seek one that, at some level, resembles them. One small problem....
I didn't pick my pets, they picked ME!
