Dogs who resemble their owners is not a new phenomenon... but has any pet gone quite this far?
One dog owner in the UK wasted $400 on veterinary fees and x-rays, trying to figure out the cause of his lurcher's limp only to discover the dog was just imitating him.
Russel Jones, who himself is on crutches with his leg in a plaster cast, became concerned when the animal began hobbling around the house.
But when the vet found absolutely nothing wrong with the animal, they realized he was simply copying his owner out of sympathy.
