Doggleganger!

A friend of mine posted this link on facebook. It's a neat little flash game sort of thing where you can take a webcam picture or upload a photo of yourself, and have it run through a database and pair you up with an adoptable dog somewhere in the world based on similar appearance. I was having fun with it, and the results I got were pretty accurate!

So, what kind of dog did you get paired with? For those of you with canine fursonas, is it similar to your chosen species? :)

The way that the plane of the page moves around is really trippy...

Anyway, it suggested a "Whippet Cross Heeler" for me.  He's a cute dog, but, not really my style.  For my husband, it suggests a "Bull Terrier Cross" -- a thuggish looking beast that's not at all his style.  (He's a big fan of English Springer Spaniels with their long curly ears.)  For my three-year-old daughter, it took three tries to get a picture that it would actually accept.  Then, it suggested a "Medium Cross Breed" that looks pretty much like every generic mutt I've seen in a shelter.  My daughter doesn't seem too impressed, but, then, she is deeply engrossed in playing a My Little Pony computer game.

lol, the first time it didn't even get most of my face >.< (I clicked, 'take picture'', the computer lags, and then it gets the left side of my head and a lot of the wall & a picture on the wall... and it accepted it, so I was all like, 'why not? X3')... interestingly that produced a 58% match, which was a higher number than my other two matches at 57% (3rd try, had monitor glare on my glasses X3) and 56% (second try, it missed my mouth because I was too close and didn't realize it would not resize the selection box thingy).

Interestly, I got mixed breeds for every try after the first (that doesn't count, because it was the wall >.< + a picture & frame), matching my rather mixed genetic heritage.
