I thought this could be a fun topic. Ever looked after a pet that looked like you or its owner? I bet there must be lots of good examples out there! ![IMG_0120](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/5/6/56b4d8ebb64ade8b3b5a7a034c0392ff14938a2d.jpeg) ---

A pet goldfish that was a plus one surprise when I arrived. He looked like me in the morning as I was so tiered from his 4 legged siblings, I only had one eye you could see till after my morning coffee. ---

My family had a standard Schnauzer called Murphy, who had beautiful silvery fur and big eyebrows… we didn’t quite realise that he and my Dad looked so alike (he has a full head of silver hair and big eyebrows!), until he walked Murphy past a busload of tourists who all started laughing about it 🤣 I wish I had a photo! ---

These came up when I googled the phenomenon. Pet owners do choose pets that look like them whether consciously or not. ![IMG_0136](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/a/2/a24a4599648848345a7ad847211d2d069a3db923.jpeg) ![IMG_0135](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/a/3/a342d6ad78e7f073f0ec7d6679a3d8dd97e8c21d.jpeg) ![IMG_0134](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/e/a/ea46547c1b1bbeadfec7dbd08a82511247f1ebf1.jpeg) ![IMG\_0133|290x499](peg ![IMG_0133](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/7/a/7ac27ab2700e2c4c59fbb3956e3c6b710f7273f0.jpeg) ![IMG_0132](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/9/c/9c841d9c32e053b669f475cf8e1e3e4e67e2704c.jpeg) ---

Walter doesn’t enjoy getting his photo taken (he knows when I’m trying to!) but I have a couple of photos of us, and I think we share the same dark hair and facial expressions 🤣 ![33026](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/5/a/5a38f583a46f871f3895819b66e005f126e23bf4.jpeg) ![33027](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trustedhousesitters/original/3X/5/a/5aea7c1f373a21baab1fe2189d1f048b974c1977.jpeg) ---
