Study suggests people choose canines who resemble themselves |
Long the subject of speculation, a study says that dogs DO resemble their owners. At least this is the case with purebred canines, according to a research conducted at the University of California. Resemblance only among the pure-breeds and their owners ruled out a possible explanation, that of convergence: the theory that similarity might grow with duration of ownership. Not only was there no correlation between how long a dog and owner had been together, as to similarity in appearance, but for convergence to be applicable the mixed-breeds would also have a resemblance to their owners. Since the similarity was only among pure-breeds, whose future appearance could be predicted, the study concluded that, in a majority of cases, owners simply select dogs who resemble themselves.
