Have you ever seen twins who wears matching dresses? If yes, than you must have also experienced that it’s quite difficult to differentiate between them. But is it necessary for twins to belong to same species? Well the universal answer is yes. But here is a duo that is breaking this rule and looking exactly like each other without belonging to same species.

Meet Topher Brophy, self-titled “Full-Time Dog Dad.” And many pet owners do consider their pets part of their family. The difference here is that Rosenberg, Brophy’s dog (an Aussiedoodle), is actually the spitting image of his owner. Brophy’s Instagram has been dedicated to photographs (taken by Chantal Adair AKA The Dog Styler) of “father and son” together, and it is just magical, taking the phrase “Man’s Best Friend” to a whole new level:

The proud pup papa talked to PEOPLE about his darling Rosenberg and how the two of them created the project with help from TheDogStyler. Read.

How did Rosenberg come into your life?

Rosenberg came into my life two years ago, when I was going through a difficult time. I wasn’t in touch with my emotions and to mask this, and to relieve tension and stress, I began to overindulge in playing competitive sports. All my time was spent playing squash, dressage, wrestling, rugby, fencing and weight training to make up for the emptiness inside of me. It was so obsessive I herniated a disk, and then was forced to stop everything. With my security blanket gone, and a lot of time on my hands, I realized the problem: I was self-absorbed and narcissistic. I badly needed meaning in my life and knew caring for someone else would be very healthy. This is when I started the adoption process for Rosenberg.

What are Rosenberg’s favorite things?

Rosenberg is into normal dog activities: running in the park, fetching balls, concentration games, but he’s also very introspective and likes to spend a lot of time each day observing human behavior. He likes to sit back and watch, while looking wise, regal and of course super adorable.

In what ways are the two of you similar?

Out personalities are actually more alike than the way we look. Both of us love to play and are pranksters. We’re also both very affectionate, athletic, detail-oriented, introspective and can be a little moody when we haven’t eaten.
