We love our pets dearly, regardless of their appearance. But when we see pets and owners who look like they come from the same family, we cannot avoid but wish our beloved animals looked a little bit more like us.
Nothing makes a stronger case for human-animal love than having a pet who looks exactly like you. That's a sensation the people on our list know way too well. They have adopted cats and dogs who, for some reason, look like animal versions of themselves, and the result is both hilarious and heartwarming! It makes us wonder: have these pets always looked like their owners, or have their furry faces adapted to the people they love in the meantime?
In our list, watch out for the multiple types of human-animal look-alikes. There's plenty to choose from: there are the ones with the same hairstyle, the ones with the same eyes, and our personal favorites, the ones with the same charisma and personality.
The Similarity Is Uncanny!
Give this dog a human nose and a black cap, and there's a good chance we will not be able to tell these two apart. When they look at one another, do they feel like they're in front of the mirror?
We love how these two look like they could be the stars of an original sitcom show. They're not only great human/animal look-alikes, but they also seem to be perfect pals who love to go on adventures together. Unbelievably, they have the same "beard," boasting similar hair color and even almost identical eyebrows. Would you ever tell this man to get off your lawn he showed up with his look-alike dog? We certainly wouldn't!
It's All in the Eyes
Describing a person as being 'feline' is normally a compliment. After all, few animals out there are as gracious and beautiful as the mighty household cat.
So, if you happen to look like your beloved Mr. Whiskers, that's probably a good sign. This young woman sure loves to take pictures with her cat to exalt the fact they have the same gorgeous green eyes. Human eyes will never be as grasping as cat eyes, but this girl gets pretty close. It's no wonder this beautiful owner and her cute pet are becoming increasingly popular on Instagram: they're a charismatic, dynamic duo with the same intoxicating gaze.
It's Not a Hat; It's a Vibe
Wearing a crown on your head doesn't make you King. But wearing a fedora will always make you look like you're ready to get the party started!
Fedoras haven't been this cool since Jason Mraz topped the charts with "I'm Yours." And that's probably the song these two buddies sing to one another every time they put their matching hats on. But looking like your pet/owner is not just about having the same hat. It's about having the same vibe. And these two couldn't be more in the same mood! Forget about the fedora, what truly sold us on this picture was the fact they have the same smile...
Partners in Crime
We cannot imagine how hard it must be to keep these two pranksters under control. The poor grown-ups in the house must suffer daily with these two jokers!
Parents say it's hard to take care of twins, so we can only imagine how tough it must be to keep these two out of trouble. Looking at their similar faces, all we can think of is that "boys will be boys." If a teenage boy needs no further incentive to do some wild things, what's going to happen when he can count on the company of his look-alike husky dog? Everybody needs friends, but these two bros could be the last living beings on the planet and still find a way to have fun!
A Real "Who's Who?"
Most people who want to look like their dogs start by changing the way their dogs look. But this kind and funny owner is trying to meet her dog halfway through...
Ms. Lassie already looks a mini version of her owner, since both have the same type of hair. But now that she's also dressed in black, there's no way you can tell these two apart. To make the distinction even harder, this owner is learning to walk on her four's, as all dogs do. And Ms. Lassie cannot avoid but put on a big smile! Is she laughing at her owner's shenanigans? Or is she simply thrilled by having her best-friend walking right alongside her? Either way, these two make a rather convincing pair of human-animal look-alikes.
Smiling All Day Through
In the Instagram page memydadandblau, you can find the pictures of a charismatic dad and his lovely daughter. But the real charmer in the family has got to be Max, the utterly cute dog of the house.
He's not only a beauty, but he's also the perfect dog-version of his owner. The secret to their similarity is in the hair, but that's not the only thing these two best friends have in common. Besides a passion for curls, they both share a good mood and a positive attitude towards life. With less than 500 followers, Max may not be famous yet, but make no mistake, he is a real star on the making.
Matched to Perfection
You already look almost exactly like your dog. But something was missing; something was different about him... And that's when you found out dogs can have their hair trimmed just like anybody else!
To make his dog look even more like him, this man paid the most talented dog groomer in town to work his magic. The result? They now have the best-looking mustache in the area! There's no way people will not be turning heads when these two go for their morning walk in the city. It speaks volumes about the great bond there is between a man and a dog when the two decide to copy each other's style. This is some epic duo!
Someone Likes the Attention...
It's like the egg and the chicken. Which came first? This woman's fringe, or the fact that her dog looks like he has a fringe himself?
Either way, let's not focus too much on such a small detail. The most whopping thing about this picture is how much this lady and her dog look like one another. Their hair is almost perfectly lined-up, seeming almost as if both have visited the same hairstylist! At least, we suppose. This ecstatic dog is so happy about being on social media that he decided to steal all the attention to himself. And we don't mind even a bit about it, because his cute pinky snout is simply adorable!
Born To Be Together
The German word doppelgänger (a non-biologically related look-alike) was sometimes used to refer to an evil twin or paranormal double. But to this man and his twin pet, finding a doppelgänger was anything but evil.
After all, these two are each other's doppelgänger, and they could not be happier together! Being completely smooshed with love, this cute dog is the pride and passion of his owner, whose smile is one of unmistakable happiness. They have lots of common traits: from the kind brown eyes to the almost same-sized nose, not forgetting that extra skin on the neck, these two are meant to be together.
Fashion Icons
If a man who looks like a paler version of Pierce Brosnan has a dog who looks like him, does that mean his dog is a Pierce Brosnan look-alike?
It's a conundrum to solve later. By now, let's just admire the fashionability of this incredibly good-looking dog and his owner. They seem to have the same passion for showcasing their white hair, and they're both totally at ease with making that model-like face that does so well on Instagram. If it weren't for the love these two seem to have for one another, we would have easily mistaken them for two professional models.
Separated At Birth?
Watching comfortably over a pile of wood while eating a slice of pizza, this young man doesn't need anyone else's company. Besides him is man's best friend, the faithful, loyal, and vigilant dog.
But wait. There's something unique about these two. They're not only watchful guards of the countryside, but they're also animal-human look-alikes. Exhibiting the same curly hair, there's a good chance these two were separated at birth. Well, not really, but you get what we're saying. Out of sheer coincidence, this young man has adopted a dog that looks exactly like the dog version of himself. And the result is a hilarious picture for the ages!
One Snap of Happiness
Is there anything better than getting back home and spending some quality time with your furry best friend? We can't think of anything right now.
Dogs are our most faithful companions, who will never leave our side in the good and bad moments. And owner-pet relationships can only get cuter when your dog happens to have your very same hairstyle. This young woman has noticed it and decided not to miss the opportunity to take a memorable snap and upload it to Instagram. Even though her dog is not smiling, we believe that, on the inside, he is as happy as her ecstatic owner.
Dress To Impress... Your Pet
In the ever-charming world of human-pet relationships, fashion plays an important role. You can not only dress your pet, but you can also dress like him.
This woman could not believe it when she saw a furry coat on the store that looked exactly like her beloved pet. Now she can take her little pup for a Winter walk without anyone even realizing that he's there. Not to mention that it will make for some deluxe Instagram pictures. We have seen some great pairs of owners and pets on our list, but this is by far the most fashionable. The resemblance is remarkable!
Are They Brother & Sister?
Unless this woman has decided to get her hair curled to look more like her dog, this is some remarkable natural similarity we're looking at!
Yes, some people like to change their pets a little, so they look more like them. But this woman was lucky enough to adopt a dog that already looks like her non-human brother. Their hair is so similar that they look like an extension of one another, as if the woman's hair had come from her dog, or vice-versa. We don't know how this happened, but we have no doubt these two deserve to be roommates. And judging by how happy they look in this picture, they probably feel the same way.
Get Him While He's Sleeping
Having a dog that looks just like you is not the only ingredient needed for a perfect owner-pet Instagram picture. It also requires a lot of time and patience...
Yes, taking a picture with your dog can be a nightmare, depending on the dog. The young woman in this picture wanted to show-off how much her dog looked like her, but she was forced to wait until he was asleep to get the perfect snap finally. Some dogs are so naturally agitated and excited that they cannot simply stand still for a photo. Unless, of course, they're exhausted from playing catch and need to take a deep doggie nap. And that's when the cameras start to roll...
Brown, Brown & Brown
In the world of human-animal look-alikes, color plays a significant role. How important?
Since we humans have disgusting fur-less skin, it's all up to how our hair and clothes match the fur of our best friend. This lovely pup is still not fully-grown, but he's already camouflaging into his owner. It helps that she's dressed fully in brown, has brown hair, and happens to be sitting in a brown couch! With so many brown things in one single frame, it can get tough to spot the lovely doggo in the picture. But there he is, joyfully posing on top of his owner's lap!
Who's The Tallest?
Like most of the best things in life, dogs come in all shapes and sizes. And while having a huge pet dog has its disadvantages, few things are as enjoyable as taking your Great Dane for a walk in the woods.
While Mr. Big Dog here has a reprehensible liking for chewing on shoes and getting the house all messed-up, he's the best company you can have for an afternoon of trekking. The only question is: will you be able to keep up with this beautiful beast's pace? If not, you can at least dress like him. This woman is a great partner for her dog, especially since she's dressing in black and has dark hair, just like her best friend.
Moody Buddies
You can't honestly tell how much a person looks like his pet until you catch both of them in a bad mood. Chances are these two were just putting an evil face for the picture, but the resemblance is impressive nonetheless.
This guy needs to get a lot more wrinkles to look exactly like his beloved pet, but other than that, these two would easily pass as brothers. Mr. Bulldog, on the right, had a tough day and is about to get some well-deserved sleep. But not without taking a heartwarming selfie with his owner first. Remember doggie; this is a picture in which we will NOT smile for the camera!
Beautiful Dogs Make Beautiful Owners
You may think it's the other way around, especially when you look at this picture. But in the end, beautiful dogs are the ones making their owners look better!
It's not always cool when you turn your dog into a fashion accessory, but as long as you keep him happy and healthy, there's nothing wrong with doing a little bit of trimming to make him look a little bit more like you. This woman is working hard to make her dog look pretty, and she seems super-focused on the task. Her lovely pet look-alike, being the well-behaved god he is, cannot avoid but get all uppish after a new haircut.
Café Twins
There's nothing more relaxing than spending some time at the café during a warm Summer afternoon. But things get even better when you get to take your dog with you!
This girl is undoubtedly enjoying her cappuccino in the company of her cappuccino-colored pet. But these two don't look just like any regular owner and pet. They look like brother and sister, boasting the same curly hair and the same kind brown eyes. And they are not shy about their love bond at all! They love to go out in public, and they never miss an opportunity to take a beautiful picture and upload it to Instagram.
A Source of Inspiration
Pets aren't just about great company and unconditional love. They can also be a source of inspiration for artists and creators.
This woman is taking her love for her little striped cat to a whole another level, and she's getting all the inspiration she needs for her next make-up design. With a few class brushes, she can copy the whiskers and fur patterns of her pet and look a lot more like him. The result is an impressive make-up design and a lovely picture. The poor cat doesn't seem to happy about posing to the cameras, but we hope he understands his owner is doing all of this out of love.
Is That Her Younger Sister?
Let's be honest: dogs don't need to look like you at all to be considered part of the family. But when they look like they have your genes, family portraits can only get cuter!
If this lady ever decides to pose for a picture with her entire family, we imagine her fluffy pup would go unnoticed. After all, he seems to have that characteristically curly red hair that runs in the family. It's no wonder some people like to grace their pets with the family name; we're not saying they're like sons and daughters to people, but they are now an indispensable part of every happy and balanced family.
A Lifetime Ahead Of You
Dogs aren't just faithful companions and occasional look-alikes. They are also a sign of hope, especially when they're as young as this cute black pup.
Every dog owner loves to look back at the day they got their best friend, the moment they touched their pup's beautiful fur for the first time. In this picture, a man who loves natural juice cannot contain his happiness as he showcases his new puppy. It also helps, of course, that his new best friend looks a lot like him, which makes for some great Instagram pictures and adds some spice to those tiring dog walks early in the morning.
A Perfect Duo
Sometimes, it's hard to tell why an owner and his pet look so much alike. But there's something about them that makes a perfect pair.
This woman and her beautiful dog, for instance, don't share any immediate common traits other than curly hair. But if this dog was lost and you had to pick his owner from a crowd, you'd know immediately who to point at. Sometimes, people just get a dog that looks exactly like them! They don't only have the same curls, but they seem to have the same sense of adventure, the same good spirits, and the same liking for going out of the house.
Hair Sis's
Give this dog some sunglasses, and you will have a perfect human-animal look-alike pair. These two best friends are not only sis's for life, but they're also hair sisters!
When Summer comes, it's the ideal season to trim your dog's hair and keep her fresh and comfortable. It also helps, of course, if she is groomed by a professional who makes her look like a socialite's dog. But what's even better is when you groom your dog's hair to match your everyday hairstyle. The result is a series of heartwarming photos that will eventually make it to one of our lists. After all, who wouldn't find these two beauties utterly cute together?
