Doggelganger uses facial recognition software to find your canine look-alike

If you've ever wondered what kind of dog you'd be, there's a new website for you: Doggelganger uses facial recognition software to match you with your doggy twin.
"Pedigree's New Zealand branch hired design agency Colenso BBDO to come up with a new way to get the word out on pup adoptions. Using the idea that dog owners tend to look like their pets, Colenso teamed up with NEC to develop Doggelgänger, "Human to canine pairing software, designed to connect real homeless dogs to their human doubles.""
Last week in the park, someone told me that our new puppy looks just like me. "She's got hazel eyes, and reddish-brown hair, and she's shy...you got a Casey puppy!" Never mind that she's 12 inches tall, white with brown spots, has fuzzy ears and, well, she's a dog. I'm not amused.
