16 Pets Who Look Just Like Their Humans (And We’re Kind Of Freaking Out)

Twinsies 🐶 👩

You’ve probably heard the saying that couples start to look like each other the longer they’re together — but can the same be said for pet parents and their pets?

According to science, the answer is yes!

A psychologist at the University of California San Diego asked a group of participants to match photos of dogs and their pet parents, and in most cases, they were matched correctly.

The theory is that humans like familiarity, and we naturally gravitate towards anything that looks a little bit like us.

Gerrard Gethings, a photographer, even created a book called “Do You Look Like Your Dog? The Book: Dogs and their Humans” — and the similarities he captured between pets and their humans are pretty wild.

We’re showing some of his photos below, plus a few more we found on Instagram, because yes, people looking like their pets is definitely a thing (and we love it!).
