Since owning a dog, I frequently observe instances of dog owners uncannily resembling their dogs. A few days ago was no exception. While on our afternoon walk, a stocky brown dog ran up to Gracie. The dog looked like a probable mix of a Bulldog and a pit bull. I walked up to the owner, who said he recently adopted the dog. I had to smile. This guy picked out a dog resembling himself! Like his dog, he was stocky and had brown hair, a round face, a thick neck, and bow legs. I swear if the dog had had underwear showing and his butt crack peeking out*, he would have been his spittin’ image.
*Actually both dog and owner did!
The picture below is not of the actual duo we encountered but shows a very similar resemblance.
