Perhaps because we tend to seek out those things which are most familiar to us and/or we begin to adopt those characteristics which make us better suited for a particular environment? ... i.e., if a dog and a human were brought up in a similar environment, they may adopt similar tendencies.

Evironment plays a factor. Fisiological, Slim people slim dogs. Over weight people overweight dogs. Emotional, Loud talkers, big barkers.

But who really finds who?, the master finds the dog or the dog finds the master. It could be argued inductively both ways.

Of course if it weren't for human kind in the first place, we wouldn't have dogs in the second place, which were initially bred from the wolf. This is probably why dogs have a tendency to look more like their owners ... I guess?

Sometimes Dirty Harry perhaps ... in my dreams! :wink:
 
Does anybody know a dog who looks like his master? Is the master aware of this or is it only a observation from outside? How does choice through observation play a role in awareness?
