Do you look like your dog?

What is it about getting a dog that makes them look so much like people? Is picking a dog like picking a hairstyle? Are we attracted only to familiar colors? Do we feel a special kinship for creatures with the same kind of fuzz? Dogs certainly do put out different attitudes, and maybe it’s as simple as that – we pick the animals with the attitude that best fits our own.

Magnani, who has only been working as a professional photographer since 2011, calls his series Underdogs (http://www.sebastianmagnani.com/124809/1407165/portfolio/underdogs). He started the series playfully in 2009, exploring the connection between owners with their dogs (who often see themselves as part of the family):

she has a greyhounds' face and bone structure (mystery mix). As for me....I'm more cocker spanielish.

Luckily, they were all better looking. I don't quite understand how it came about, but I've always had incredibly beautiful dogs, many of them rescues. I didn't necessarily pick all of them, either. A lot picked me - out of pity, maybe. They probably thought, we'd better go take care of that poor girl before the Ugly Patrol gets her.
