This Man And His Dog Just Inspired The Most Adorable ‘Twinning’ Trend, And The Photos Will Make Your Day
It all started when Liam Rice, 24, from the Isle of Man, tweeted out a series of selfies with his charismatic husky Luna, who has a habit of copying his facial expressions. People loved the pics so much that they decided to try the same with their own pets, and a trend was born.
“Going viral has just been so bizarre, Liam told Bored Panda. “Usually you see people go viral for actually doing something productive, but all I did was take a picture with my dog and I woke up the next day to a frozen phone (from the notifications). It’s been so lovely though to read all the positive comments and seeing other people with their dogs!
Liam is an animal lover, he works as an animal care officer at the Manx SPCA and as well as 2-year-old Luna, he has 5 cats. After a few years of doing all kinds of work, he now feels like he’s doing his dream job. “My main duties at the ManxSPCA are caring for and rehoming dogs in the kennels,” he told us. “Fairly often I get the chance to help with the welfare side and go out and rescue animals such as cats, dogs and even more wild animals like seals!”
For those who have never heard of the Isle of Man, it is a small, wild island located in the Irish Sea, between Great Britain and Ireland. Known for its fascinating history and culture, insane motorcycle race and status as a tax-haven, it is an interesting place to live. “Life on the Isle of Man is beautiful, I am happy here and it is my home,” Liam told Bored Panda. “Although sometimes I do feel detached from the rest of the world at times! It can be hard to find someone to settle down with as I am limited with the amount of people on the island!
Well Liam’s tweets have definitely connected him with plenty of people, with over 200,000 retweets and thousands of people joining in the fun! Scroll down below to check out a few of the best so far, and don’t forget to upvote your favourites! You can also check out Liam's Instagram here.

These are great. I'm a writer and when I need a break to clear my head, I look for Bored Panda to get me going again. These are really cute and funny.
There is nothing more attractive than a man who loves cats. Unless it's a man who loves *and* rescues cats. :)

It makes me wonder if the pet is imitating the human or visa-versa
I send a huge compliment to all four. Not only to you look like your loved one, you all are "10s"

They ain't kidding with the phrase: "Some dogs look exactly like their owners."
Been to the Isle of Man for over 30 years for as described the insane TT motorcycle races where they currently top 200 miles per hour. It's a magical island, and i have been to the Manx SPCA several times and have come away from there with three Manx cats. Other than the racing it is a wonderful place to relax and the activities and places to see are endless.
Liams husky Luna is very good at his expression...Come on you young ladies dont let poor Liam be lonely....besides hes got really cute dog
Population on Isle of Man is only 80K+...He has a problem settling down cz there are not enough people. This is our chance! Hahah
Ya - if I was that guys dog - I would do pretty much anything he asked😁
Oh my, every owner nails it. Its so amazing look at these photos, so much love. Thank you for sharing.
They are all adorable...right down to the matching jacket. So wonderful to so many loved critters! Number 7 still has me laughing!
"Wie der Herr, so´s G´s scherr", this is a German/Bavarian saying that can´t really be translated, word by word it means as much as "Like the lord, so the staff" ("Geschirr´s an old German word for staff), it´s been prooved that especially dogs and their owners become more alike the longer they live together, lately I even saw a "Memory" card game with photos like these, f. ex. an Afghan dog and a woman with blonde curly long hair LOL!!!
Liam is cute... but he looks like a Miley Cyrus. Maybe with his eyes... :D dont u think?
30 Years ago there was a Goofy comic showing owners exactly looking like their dogs. And I guess you will find photos from 1900 of people making the same faces as their dogs. I find these pictures adorable and worthwhile to look at, but "started a new trend" is just way over the top.
I cant read your comment can you not put space i n e v e r y s i n gl e l e t t e r
