Dog gets hundreds of thousands of likes because it looks exactly like Ivanka Trump

They say that dogs resemble their owners and that they look alike. This whole joke has now been truly proven.

Researchers have found evidence that dogs indeed resemble their owners at home quite a bit. In terms of coat color and hair color, for example. But the similarity between the four-legged friend and the owner is mainly in the eyes, experts say. How did those scientists demonstrate that? They had people evaluate photos of a person posing with a dog. Strangers could accurately identify which dog belonged to which person in 75 percent of the cases and which ‘couples‘ of dog and human did not match.

That’s why we now know: women with long hair automatically choose a dog with floppy ears more often, which makes them, yes, look a bit more alike. This has a lot to do with the so-called ‘exposure effect’. This means that you feel more comfortable with things, objects, animals, and people that you see often. And since you see yourself every day, you also trust a dog faster if it resembles you in some way. If you recognize something in a puppy, the chance is greater that you will take it home. Although it often happens unconsciously, it is true.

Back to the order of the day. Because now a dog is going incredibly viral and there’s a funny reason for that. Why? Hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter believe: this doggy looks strikingly like none other than the president's daughter Ivanka Trump.

And now you think: yeah, yeah, that’s all nonsense. But just look at the picture of the now-famous dog. You’ll definitely laugh out loud:

It may not be Ivanka's own dog, of course, but it remains a delightful comparison between human and animal. The photo of the dog has already been liked and shared more than 400,000 times on Twitter alone. How Ivanka herself perceives the hysteria, she has not yet revealed, but we guess she can also laugh about it. Even if it’s just a small smile.
