Why Science Says We Pick Dogs That Look (and Act) Like Us

It’s not just your imagination—your dog might be your mirror.

You’ve probably noticed it before: the husky guy with the stocky bulldog. The high-energy woman with the bouncy border collie. Or maybe… you looked at your own pup and thought, “Are we kind of twinning right now?”

Turns out, it’s not just a cute coincidence.
Science shows we tend to choose dogs that both look and behave like us.
