Do You Look Like Your Dog?

Is your next-door neighbor the spitting image of his rottweiler? Does your spouse wear spotted pajamas to more closely identify with your dalmatian?
We all know someone whose resemblance to his or her dog is uncanny, baffling, or just downright entertaining. We also know how irresistible it is to spot these look-alikes on the street, in the park, or at the family picnic. Now, there's no need to keep your eagle eyes on constant alert--Gini Graham Scott has done the work for you. She has unleashed her passion, travelled far and wide, and solicited pantingly good photographs from fans of her web site, www.doyoulooklikeyourdog.com, gathering portraits of the world's best dog-human pair-ups.
So curl up in front of the fire with your Irish setter or your cockapoo, start turning the pages, and get ready for the ultimate celebration of the canine and the canine-obsessed.

Have you ever noticed how many people look like their dog? Have you spotted these look-alikes on the street, in the park, or at a family picnic? Have you been to a dog and owner look-alike contest at a local fair? Now you can see examples of this phenomenon in "DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DOG?," a book which features 100 look-alike owners and dogs. The photos comes from the popular Website www.doyoulooklikeyourdog.com, which gets thousands of hits a day, and the book features about 50 photos sent in by owners from all over the world and the rest taken by author Gini Graham Scott at dog shows in the San Francisco Bay Area. The book has even become a game introduced by Briarpatch and a song featured on YouTube, MySpace, and other sites. The dogs range from toy Poms and Miniature Pinschers to Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Irish Wolfhounds, Siberian Huskies, and many more. The book also includes a brief introduction about how the hundreds of breeds developed and the reason that many people do resemble like their dog in many ways, from their hair style and hair color to their body build, personality, and dress. So see if you can find your favorite dog-owner look-alike and enjoy.
