NEW YORK, NY, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Have you ever noticed that dogs and their humans seem to look like one another? If you have, it\u2019s not just you \u2013 from subconsciously choosing a pup with features like your own to spending so much time with your dog that your personalities begin to meld, studies show this resemblance to be more than just a coincidence, but a proven phenomenon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This National Dog Day, Dogfish Head<\/a> welcomes New Yorkers and their four-legged best friends to prove their resemblance at its inaugural Dog & Owner Lookalike Contest<\/b>, taking place on Wednesday, August 26, from 5-9 p.m., at the Bandshell at Industry City (220 36th<\/sup> St, Brooklyn, NY 11232). Created to celebrate the wonderfully weird bond between people and their pups, this free event is open to dogs of every breed, size and personality (ok \u2026 their humans can come too). In addition to the evening\u2019s main affair, the official Dog & Owner Lookalike Contest determined by an esteemed panel of celebrity judges, the event will feature a myriad of photo opportunities, giveaways, dog-friendly experiences and for guests 21+, refreshing pours from Dogfish Head\u2019s portfolio of craft beers<\/a> and ready-to-drink cocktails<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Let’s be honest, there are dogs out there with better beards than their owners, and owners who have clearly stolen their dog’s hairstyle,” said Sam Calagione, Brewer & Founder of Dogfish Head. “We’ve all seen those pairs that make you do a double take. We figured they deserved a stage, a cheering crowd, the best brews around, and maybe even a trophy. I can\u2019t wait to see all the folks that come out for a chance at the \u2018Best in Show\u2019 title, and I look forward to raising a beer (or cocktail) to celebrate our winner!”<\/p>\n

Contestants will strut their stuff before a panel of celebrity judges who will evaluate entries based on resemblance and overall showmanship. Contest judges include:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
