About This Quiz

Dogs have been mankind's best friend for well over ten thousand years now, and just as you start to take after anyone around whom you spend time, many of us are really starting to resemble our dogs. We don't necessarily mean physically (though there are certainly always more people out there who want to wear matching man-and-dog sweaters than you'd expect). We mean that just as dogs are becoming fussier about their surroundings as they enjoy the benefits of civilization, humans who have the good fortune to be around dogs a lot are taking on the characteristics of those dogs.

Some of these traits are absolutely wonderful ones that we should all really strive to attain. These include loyalty, discretion and the ability to love without judgment. Anyone who has enjoyed the deep and abiding love that a devoted hound can give would surely desire to experience this marvel from the other side, after all! However, there are other doggie traits that are perhaps less wonderful, such as a tendency to eat something without knowing what it is or being just a smidge needy (or maybe incredibly needy).
