people who look like their dogs
The Economist put an article from their print edition up online yesterday, Love me, love my dog, about the paper published by Christina Payne and Klaus Jaffe (of Venezuela's Simón Bolívar University) in the Journal of Ethology a while back.
Payne and Jaffe went to a dog show, photographed 36 purebred dogs and their owners (separately), and then had volunteers guess which dogs belonged to which dog. The volunteers sorted out the right answer more often than chance, just like in a previous study by other researchers which found that human couples tend to look alike. The phenomenon Payne and Jaffe are studying is associated mating characterized as "self seeking like", in which people prefer faces that resemble their own.
I got Jarvis as a present, he was picked out of a litter by a friend of my mom so we don't look anything alike, although I do know many people who definitely resemble their dogs. I bet Payne and Jaffe would get a good laugh out of the winners of the Cesar Select Dinners I Look Like My Dog contest, like these two fellows:

Hmm. That's a regular Cesar ad, not any dog-resemblance contest (it won some Cannes Lions back in 2000 - see this page). But funny anyway.
