Perhaps you have seen a person walking along the street with your pet and you have thought: "They are identical!" His way of walking, his style and even his physiognomy seemed a faithful copy. Is it true that dogs resemble their masters? In this article we tell you.

1. Masters resemble their dogs

Some have a rather quiet walk, others seem a 'whirlwind' ... there are those who sleep a lot and those who love to exercise. Are we referring to dogs or owners? To both!

"He loves to lie in the sun in the afternoon", "he is afraid of thunder", "he gets a little shy with strangers" or "not for a second". These are affirmations that we make about our dogs and that can also define ourselves.

The people who live with animals can affirm that the hypothesis that dogs resemble their masters is true. Because they are the same as us! Our four-legged companions can be sedentary or active, sleepy or energetic, shy or daring, gluttonous or careful with food.

2. Similar between dogs and their owners.

But what explanation do we have of all this? One theory states that people choose our pets by affinity, instinctively. Therefore, next to a nervous owner there is a restless dog, or next to a quiet master there is a relaxed dog.

Of course that we do not know when we decided to adopt our new best friend, although it could be said that there are certain 'trends' in terms of elections. For example, if we are sedentary and love water, it is likely that we choose a labrador retriever, or that if we exercise a lot and are always active, we look for a Dalmatian or a jack russell company.

The same thing happens when we choose a partner, since we are more likely to be attracted to someone who has a personality similar to ours or who likes the same things. Perhaps that is why it is said that our dog resembles us in some 'aesthetic' or external issue: cut or length of the hair, size of the muzzle or face, etc.

3. Dogs resemble their masters.

Another theory states that it is not really that the owner chooses a 'related' dog, but that the dog has the ability to imitate those around him, and more precisely who he considers his 'leader' or alpha.

4. Similar between dogs and masters

Adapting to the environment is very important if you want to survive. For this reason, the dog 'resembles' the one who feeds him and offers him refuge. We can not leave aside that the dogs consider to be our equals, without separation of species. Therefore, they seek to imitate us and take us as a guide.

What happens then with the dogs that were first raised by one family and then by another? They probably have the ability to change their habits and their personality based on the characteristics of their current owners, although they may keep in their memory some vestiges of their past.

Finally, it should be noted that dogs are not the only animals capable of emulating human attitudes. Dolphins, whales and apes seem to fit people, but that does not happen, for example, with cats, despite sharing a roof with us.
