Congratulations to English bulldogs Lulu and Norman and their owners Eunice and Dave Oleksiw, the winners of the October PetStress.com Picture Perfect Pet Photo Contest!
Here’s the winning photo of Lulu and Norman:
Eunice, a devoted dog owner, told us, “I’m happy to win and I’m going to use the $50 gift certificate to buy car seat belt harnesses for our dogs to keep them strapped in and safe. The seat belt harnesses will keep them from jumping around in the back seat like jumping beans from window to window and keep Lulu from trying to get into the front seat and then on your lap.”
Our PetStress.com November photo contest starts today. You can win a $50 gift certificate. Enter your best pet photo here:

Do you look like your pet?
Have you noticed a resemblance between owners and their pets? Are they not quite twins but you know they belong together?
The NY Times wrote about recent studies supporting the idea that owners could be matched with their pets more often than would be possible randomly. Recent studies found subjects could often correctly match dog owners with their pets if the dogs were purebreds. Subjects said they attempted to match owners and dogs based on similar personality traits as indicated by facial expressions rather than by physical features.
I love taking photos of owners and their pets and it’s especially fun when there is even a little similarity in their appearance or facial expression. I’ll be sharing more of my “not quite twins” photos occasionally here on the blog, and I’d love to post your photos of owners with pets too! You can submit them by clicking on this link:
