Scientists from Germany\u2019s Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology have just confirmed what many dog owners long suspected: our canine companions really do resemble us. According to their study published in the journal <em data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"711\">Personality and Individual Differences<\/em>, the similarities are no optical illusion. They transcend physical appearance and are rooted in temperament, behaviour and even personality traits. Women with short hair tend to prefer dogs with short ears, introverted people have dogs that are nervous around strangers and conscientious owners tend to have pets that are easier to train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last Sunday, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2025\/10\/rokethon-2025-walk-your-dogs-alongside-princess-charlene-to-help-animals\/\">Rokethon 2025<\/a>, while Princess Charlene walked around the Chapiteau de Fontvieille with her chihuahua Harley, we decided to carry out our own investigation in Monaco. Armed with a microphone and a modest dose of scientific curiosity, we met participants to see whether the Principality confirms or disproves the theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-monaco-tribune wp-block-embed-monaco-tribune\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"P2Xcm31Nyb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2025\/11\/princess-charlene-and-harley-come-together-for-a-cause-at-the-rokethon\/\">Princess Charlene and Harley come together for a cause at the Rokethon<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Princess Charlene and Harley come together for a cause at the Rokethon&#8221; &#8212; Monaco Tribune\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2025\/11\/princess-charlene-and-harley-come-together-for-a-cause-at-the-rokethon\/embed\/#?secret=ma4yuuR1GD#?secret=P2Xcm31Nyb\" data-secret=\"P2Xcm31Nyb\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeremy-and-chiro-completely-crazy\">J\u00e9r\u00e9my and Chiro: \u201cCompletely crazy!\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>J\u00e9r\u00e9my with Chiro, five years old, adopted from the Monaco SPA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"729\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/jeremeny-729x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-322898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/jeremeny-729x1024.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/jeremeny-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/jeremeny.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>J\u00e9r\u00e9my and Chiro \u00a9 Monaco Tribune \u2013 @sundaria_art<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Not at all, he\u2019s completely crazy<\/em>!\u201d protests J\u00e9r\u00e9my when asked if he resembles his dog.

Interestingly, Kira, despite being a rottweiler, was not listed as a dangerous dog when registered.

In Monaco, as elsewhere, dogs gradually become the reflection of those who love them. Some similarities appear from the start, others form over the years, shaped by shared life, routines and emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond scientific curiosity, these encounters remind us of a fundamental truth: our dogs are not mere pets. They are full members of our families \u2014 mirrors of our souls, silent witnesses to our joys and our trials. They deserve our time, our care and our unconditional love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since if our dogs end up resembling us, it may be because we give them the space to become who they truly are \u2014 not objects, but living, feeling beings, capable of absorbing and reflecting the essence of those who cherish them. In caring for a dog, we do more than raise a companion. We shape, often without realising it, a smaller, purer, more faithful version of ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2025\/10\/sylvia-sermenghi-speaking-from-the-heart-on-behalf-of-animals-in-monaco\/\">As Sylvia Sermenghi reminded us<\/a>, abandonment is suffering.
