Seen At The Westminster Dog Show: 42 Owners Who Look Weirdly Like Their Dogs

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — Wandering the purple carpets, green competition turfs and chaotic primping aisles of the Westminster Dog Show at Pier 92 and Pier 94 this week, it was impossible not to notice the number of owners and handlers who bore a striking resemblance their show pets, whether it be through dress, hairstyle, posture or demeanor.

It was as if the opening scene of Disney's "101 Dalmations" had come to life in a Midtown convention center. And it made a witness wonder, long after the curtain fell: Who looked like whom first?

Here are 42 of the most striking doggelgangers we came across at Westminster 2017.
