There are two kinds of dog owners: those who dote on how cute their pets are, and those who claim their dogs look like Richard Gere. And it would’ve been funny if they’re joking but it’s funnier now when you realize they weren’t. From internet memes, to celebrities, to TV or movie characters, and even to pastries, these dogs will confuse the heck out of you with their uncanny resemblance to their counterparts.
Get your glasses for this one and figure out which one is which! Here are 70 pet owners who have doggelgaangers as pets!
You might think that the famous 1930’s painting by Grant Wood has been meme’d to death. But, don’t tell that to this pair of adorable doggies who have no idea that they’re the spittin’ image of everyone’s favorite pitchfork-wielding couple!
The only thing you need to know about Big Ed is that he famously slathered mayo into his hair on
90 Day Fiance. This no-neck doggy looks like his canine twin, sans the greaseball’s hair.
What sort of crazy wizardry created this? Is there a magic wand out there that can manifest stuff from the Harry Potter-verse into our world with just the flick of the wrist? The only thing missing here is Dobby’s get-out-of-jail-free sock.
New sequel coming soon: How to Train Your Dragon-Doggo. Don’t worry, his bark is worse than his toothless bite!
“Do we look alike?” Ummm…is Dwayne Johnson one of the hottest actors on the planet? Let’s quit wasting time asking silly questions so we can admire these two twins from another mother.
6. Titan, The Husky Shark
Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, crazy scientists have crossbred a husky pupper with a great white. Shark Week is coming up any day now on the Discovery Channel, and husky sharks doing laps in the pool is going is something we’ve never seen before!
“My girl has this one down.” Yep, this little Cujo-wannabe has learned a thing or two from the “disaster girl” meme. The devilish, all-knowing look in this dog’s eyes indicates that she’s now ready to advance to the next stage of world domination!
Back in the early days of the interwebs, when Amazon was still just a bookstore and memes were just starting to go viral, it was “side-eye girl” who stole our hearts. An now years later, this gap-toothed pup with that same shifty-eyed stare is making us laugh all over again!
9. The Brain (from Pinky and the Brain)
This pup’s owner says that Stevie Nyx “gives the meanest stink eye of all time.” We totally agree! All the judgment kinda makes you feel ashamed to even look their way. NARF!
And this, folks, is how puppies go on to become great memes. They learn from the absolute best! Even those shy little glances look exactly the same!
A long time ago in a Star Wars Galaxy far, far away, the Jedi have been secretly creating a new weapon: Puppy Porgs. The goal? To distract the Evil Empire with an onslaught of cuteness!
This is a totally unexpected comparison, but the resemblance is unmistakable! At least we know the owner can use her pooch to dust the blinds in the pinch.
Sid the sloth from Ice Age had us from the very moment he lit up the movie screen with that goofy grin of his. And this little doggo, who is the spitting image of all that glorious slothness, is just as endearing!
14. Snoop Dogg..and Snoop Dog.
There’s no question about it – when Basher the pooch dons his gangsta hoodie, he looks just like the famous rapper. And both of them look like they’ve been taking advantage of California’s recreational cannabis laws like a boss!
“He’s a rescue and when we had his DNA done, were astounded he wasn’t part Pug part Grinch.”
Well, those DNA ancestry tests can be misleading. Even your average Maury Povich guest can see that Grinch is obviously the father!
If Richard Gere reincarnated as a dog, he would still look incredibly handsome. Some guys just age really gracefully no matter what species they are!
OMG they both look delicious! Is it wrong that I’m suddenly getting the urge to pinch a piece of chocolatey goodness off of this pup?
If Harrison Ford died and came back as a dog, he’d still be able to pull in all the ladies when he goes for walkies. That cheeky smirt of his is a trait that will live on forever!
19. Er, which one’s which?
Are you sure you didn’t snatch a baby seal from his mama? ‘Cause this pup looks more like a seal than the real seal does!
On the next episode of
Avatar: The Last Airbender, Appa meets his new stunt double. Yip yip, it’s time to giddyup and fly, you little bison-doggo!
Will Ferrell nailed everything that is gloriously cheesy about the 1970’s in his hit comedy flick,
Anchorman. And now, the legend continues with this poufy-haired, hairband-wearing, lookalike doggo!
22. Brothers from another mother!
Can you spot the difference? One says “moo” and the other says “ruff,” but other than that they’re exactly the same!
23. The similarities tho!
That fluffy white fur, those sweet puppy-dog eyes, the cute black snout… Great job, Matrix. You copy-pasted these adorable lil’ blubber butts just perfectly!
Here’s another
Ice Age doppelganger that makes us question the nature of reality. Even the best quantum physicists out there can’t come up with a good theory as to why this doggy has a crooked snout that seems to match Scrat’s on the sub-atomic level!
Who’s a Hungry Hungry Hippo? Good boi, Tiny, good boi! Now spit out the balls so we can play the game again!
26. “Charlie bit my finger”
Remember that viral video from way back when? Well, this owner’s dog happens to be named Charlie, too. And it explains yet again why you should never shove your dirty paw into your brother’s mouth!
This dog could have grown up to look like anything, absolutely anything he wanted, in this big great world of ours. And what did he choose? To look like the butt-end of Tour de France!
Here’s another fun take on the “change my mind” meme. This bouncy doggo looks exactly like Leonardo giving zero eff’s as he happily struts around town!
Who can forget George Costanza in that one Seinfeld episode where he strikes a seductive pose? Well, you won’t forget this pooch who’s just trying to have some sexy fun too!
30. “Hope u enjoy Fig’s take”
Ahhh yes, Fig has that same bug-eyed look, that same pointy hair, and even the old, wrinkly skin. Let’s hope Fig starts to take better care of herself so she doesn’t end up aging in multiples of 10 years instead of the standard 7!
What happens when you inject a dog with the DNA of the always surly-looking Ron Swanson? You get to take a cheeky trip down Parks and Recreation memory lane!
32. Roger the Buff Kangaroo
She’s only 13 pounds, but dayyyym, those guns could rip the arms off a full-grown man. And I’m talking about the dog on the right, yo!
Dumbo is recognized around the world for his floppy ears. And now he’s got a bosom buddy in the cutest Weimaraner on the planet!
Fans of the animated film
Anastasia will immediately recognize Bartok the Magnificent! And his real-life counterpart “was born deaf with blue eyes, broken pupils, and the most neurotic personality I have ever seen in a dog.” Chaos the pup may sound like a hot mess, but he looks like a total sweetie.
Meerkat Manor was one of my favorite shows on Animal Channel back in the day. It’s nice to see that this wiener dog echoes my sentiments about the importance of standing tall and proud even when everyone else thinks you’re just the tiny underdog of the Kalahari Desert.
Yummm, who here doesn’t love the mouthwatering look of a jacket potato that’s been topped with loads of melted butter? Like her owner says, “Maggie was made for this.”
“Ever since my dog was a puppy, my oldest sister always says that he looks like John Travolta.” Yup, she’s right – that wicked widow’s peak on this pup’s forehead, along with his bluer-than-blue eyes, reminds us of the
Grease star, too!
Is this just another Shameless plug for the actor? Nahhhh…this this lovable lump actually does look like Frank Gallagher from the TV show, scruffy beard and all!
39. Freddie Mercury or Rick James?
Rick James wins every single time! No one can rock the 80s-era Jheri curl look better than the original super freak (except maybe Lionel Ritchie). But this furry
Solid Gold-wannabe certainly comes in a close second!
Stephen King, the master of horror, played upon our everyday fears of dogs and clowns when he brought us Cujo and Pennywise. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any scarier, behold – there are now two more reasons why you should run away as fast as you can from this mix-n-match nightmare!
Unlike coyotes and wolves, foxes can’t technically reproduce offspring with dogs. But, then again, Jurassic Park’s Jeff Goldblum has already convinced us that “life finds a way.” And here’s the proof!
The ears are strong with this one, yes! And in high winds, he could probably even take off and turn into Falkor from The Neverending Story.
Speaking of Falkor, this doggo actually does a better impersonation of the cuddly luckdragon. In fact, the replication is so good, it makes you wonder what else the copy-paste experts in the Matrix have programmed for us!
Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh always seems to come across as gloomy, depressed, and down on his luck. But stinkin’ cute doesn’t even begin to describe this cheeky do-over!
I bet this punk is feeling really lucky right about now. He’s even got that squinty, spaghetti western glare nailed down to a T!
The difference, or lack thereof, is hilariously uncanny! Not every dog can pull off that unkempt homeless look and still be called a genius.
47. Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme
This is why I can’t have both snacks and dogs in my house. It’s just way too easy to confuse the two!
When Samuel L. Jackson tells me to go the eff to sleep, I go to sleep. When he tells me that he’s had it with those mother ‘effin snakes on the mother effin’ plane, I believe him. And when his doppelganger pooch gives me the stink eye, I know it’s time to get the mother ‘effin out of there!
Too bad 80s hair like Rod’s didn’t make a comeback in 2020. It would have been right at home with all the ugly pandemic cuts we gave ourselves! At least we know the choppy ‘do is still alive and well in the dog grooming industry.
When E.T. phoned home he was probably asking his twin bro on the other side of the galaxy for some fashion advice. You know, like whether or not this hoodie blanket was making his head look too big.
“No his name is not Chewy. It is Toast. Aka Chewy Toast.” I’ll toast to all that hairy cuteness any day!
Meet Kirby, the real-life version of the pudgy dog from Disney’s hit animated flick,
Up. Just look at him – his “big, fat squishy face” is 100% Dug, right down to the floppy tongue poking out of his mouth!
53. Jason Momoa & Jon Hamm
Uh oh, better watch your back there, buddy. That bad boi behind you looks like he has something cheeky planned, and it looks like your big fluffy tail might be his endgame!
This dog owner hilariously admits that she is the proud owner of the “off-brand Homeward Bound crew.” There’s nothing wrong with b-roll mutts and post-scratchers – they have just as much luv’n to give as the more expensive Hollywood types.
55. World Of Warcraft Orc
“WoW orc vs Hydrangea the English bulldog… can you tell which is which???” Just a little bit more teeth and a little bit less drool, and they could pass for brothers!
The white-haired German shepherd from the John Travolta-voiced Disney flick lives on in Niko, his 3D doppelganger. That big round nose of his is just too cute to be real!
57. “Layla wanted to give the #lookalikechallenge a shot.”
Hey now, quit trying to pass off your baby seal pup as doggy pup, ya shyster! This is a contest for look-a-likes, not exactly-a-like!
Every time I see Fabio, a voice in my head automatically quips, “
I can’t believe it’s not butter” in a cheesy accent. And now, I can’t believe this doggy isn’t actually Fabio pretending to getting dressed up for a furry party!
Steve Buscemi’s character, Crazy Eyes, had a funny way of looking everywhere except straight in the 2002 Adam Sandler flick
Mr. Deeds. The secret behind his success? He probably took acting lessons from this dog, who seems to have a natural talent for bugging’ out!
“That one time my dog saw a fly and he turned into crazy eyes.”
60. Angelina Jolie’s Sexy Leg
Argus here can’t bend his rear right leg due to a break he received when he was stray. But he’s not even mad, ’cause now he always has that sexy Angelina Jolie vibe!
Like their owner says, “just two cinnamon rolls chilling on the couch.” Mmmm, I’m suddenly getting hungry now. Are you hungry?
62. The Most Interesting Man In The World
Who can forget those witty Dos Equis beer commercials, featuring a very debonair Jonathan Goldsmith as The Most Interesting Man in the World?
“I don’t always get down on all fours to drink beer from a water bowl, but when I do, the water bowl always asks for my phone number after I’m done.”
One lesson Sesame Street never managed to teach any of us is how to properly spell Snuffleupagus. But we do love how this sweet fanboy named Moose manages to embody this beloved childhood favorite, right down to the pink-tipped tongue!
64. “I mean, Frank rocks it better, but can’t deny the resemblance….”
Okay, so which one is Frank? Because they both look like they’re trying to outshine and out-rock each other!
Don’t you think Archo here looks exactly like Duke from
The Secret Life of Pets? He’s even got that same silly expression and big round nose.
Ah yes, both Sam Elliot and Neuman the pup are such handsome boys! Right down to those distinguished, bushy whiskers of theirs.
All he needs is a few more gold chains and he could join the A-Team. Oh, and before I forget – “I pity the fool who forgets to take this doggy for his walkies!”
Well done, little man. Now you can secretly infiltrate the kangaroo population and get some insider boxing tips!
69. “Molly was not a fan of this haircut…”
Poor Molly, I can see why she’s not a fan of this haircut. I mean, why did you have to go and make your miniature pet alpaca look like a froofy, over-sized lap dog?
70. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Exactly, he nailed it! Tim Burton’s
Beetlejuice was beyond weird when it first hit movie screens, but one of the campy horror film’s characters is getting a revival in the form of this German shepherd.
Awww, Phil is absolutely majestic! Can your Phil predict when Spring will arrive, too?
Here’s an oldie but goodie that’s made the rounds before. According to his owner, Rudy looks like comedian Jeff Dunham’s puppet, Walter, “when you don’t throw his toy fast enough.” Yep, we can totally see the resemblance in that petulant expression of theirs!
Yep, they’re both definitely Little Mermaids! The only difference is one is long-haired and the other has a close shave.
Next time you clean, take a good look at your mop and make sure it’s not biting back! SHARE this with your family and friends, and see if their dogs look like something else as well!
