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.

"AHHH! I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M SCREAMING BUT THIS IS FUN SO IMA CONTINUE!"
The pic if of me! I didn't delete the comment so not sure why it disappeared! Tatiana Maslany is gorgeous! That is such a nice compliment!
Now, after you replied, Lindsay, my original comment is back. Probably not deleted, just a temporary malfunction of the comments system. I'm glad you received my comment, Lindsay, now I have an idea: what do you think would happen if you started to style yourself after Sarah, Alison, Rachel and Krystal? ;) Hope to hear more of you and your puppy!

Uh... sorry for being tiresome, but yesterday I posted a reply noting the resemblance of the girl with a popular character played by actress Tatiana Maslany, and today it's gone. I apologize if my comment was considered inappropriate. But the girl does look like Cosima Niehaus.
The fact that Liam is a hottie doesn't hurt either ;)
If I was 20 years younger I would so move to the Isle of Man and do my best to make sure he wouldn't get lonely.
Me too - and I am not even gay ^^
Indeed. I'd love to move to the IoM anyway, it's so beautiful, but the chance of bumping into him and his gorgeous dog...mmm
They ain't kidding with the phrase: "Some dogs look exactly like their owners."
Gosh ! He's handsome. @the guy with the husky pair.

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.
Liam.....wow
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
Wait!!! That's it? More Dammit
Thanks to Liam & Luna for the Fun & Inspiration to All! World Peace is Here! LOL
I miss my dog. :(
Ya - if I was that guys dog - I would do pretty much anything he asked😁
Well, at least we can watch adorable face.....
Why are the cute guys ALWAYS gay?
Too adorable!
Can I post a picture with my dog on this topic? How to do that?
Yes, ppl choose animals same as they are. Cute.
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?
Like it!
Awesome pics :D
I don't remember doing this ;P.
Doing what
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.
Can you show me picture of those please
