Dogs looking like their owners, or the other way around

The saying dogs look a lot like their owners rang true to me when I pulled up next to a guy at the light. I usually people watch which gets me in trouble, I stare and then most of the time the person and I make eye contact which makes me immediately turn to pretend that akward moment we had didn't happen.

Anyway, I was at this light and noticed this guy.





















Normally I would think much of him. But then I noticed who dog who has the same exact facial expression as him, I knew it was fate as I started racking up the similarities. This guy had a bottom lip that was bigger and he had the same exact pout. It was fate.

The picture is hard to see because as I was taking the picture when we met the inevitable "eye" connection and frantically started pretending I was searching for signal on my iphone.... smart move natalie. I am sure he knew exactly what I was doing.

There was also this dog that used to run around our neighborhood in Michigan. This dog used to scare the crap out of me.


Just imagine having 12 acres of land and then seeing this dog come out of the weeds and start barking while you are having your adventures picking apples and such. I remember running and this dog chasing after me. It was like a bear that barked and drooled. 

So after finally learning that if I ran towards the dog it would high tail it out of there I decided that I would keep chasing it. I ended up chasing it home to find this in a girl version.


I couldn't help but think that somewhere down the line that this person thought they were meant to be. I could go on and on how different people resemble their dogs, heck, they even have events where people dress like their dog. I mean it worked Lady GaGa didn't it? Her dog looks real happy :)
