Do dogs look like their owners?


Or is it the other way around?







“A group of 70 people who do not own dogs were asked to match photos of 41 dog owners to three possible breeds — Labrador, poodle or Staffordshire bull terrier. They matched the owners to the dogs more than half the time. Yet given three choices, they should have been right only about a third of the time.
This suggests that certain breeds of dogs are associated with particular kinds of people, said study leader Lance Workman, a psychologist at Bath Spa University in the UK.”
