It has now been proven that dog owners end up looking like their canine companions, (seriously, click through on that link!) and vice-versa. We're inviting such pairs to enter our dog & human lookalike competition ‘Doggelgangers’ (like Doppelgängers... geddit?).

This guy, Topher Brophy, and his dog Rosenbury are taking the mutt-man look-alike thing to a whole new level with an o nline/social-media joint-career, but we're happy to see pairs who are spirit-twins as well as lookeylikeys. Have a look at last years album here.

Audrey Dalton of p awtrait.ie will photograph entrants at the Doggelgangers stand on-site, and results will be posted on our Facebook after the festival for public voting. The winning lookalikes will be rewarded with a framed print of their winning shot, courtesy of p awtrait.ie!
