Why We Look Like Our Dogs

Psychologist Yana Bender and her colleagues at Friedrich Schiller University in Germany decided to try to find out. They recently conducted a systematic review of studies probing for similarities in dog-human dyads and found that people actually resemble their dogs more often than chance would predict, not just in physical characteristics but also in personality and behavior. Their research, which analyzed 15 studies, was published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
