There’s no question that humans love animals. Half the internet seems to be devoted to animal pictures (the other half is arguing with your relatives about politics on Facebook). They say that when you love someone, the two of you start to resemble one another.

That’s definitely the case with these animals. Some of them look just like their owners. Others, meanwhile, seem to enjoy human activities, like lounging on the couch and having a girls’ spa day. We may be different from our pets, but in certain ways, we’re all the same.

Believe it or not, there is actually a science to back up why pets resemble their owners. Humans have a natural tendency to choose a dog that looks like them. It’s a subconscious effort to bond with the pup, just like we do with our biological human children (who also look like us). Yes, it’s weird, but just chalk it up to evolution gone wonky. We love and want to connect with our pets, and that’s why we want them to be our miniatures.

If you have a beloved pet at home, you may want to take a selfie together to see if you two look alike. At the very least, you’ll have an adorable picture to share online!
