Dog with human face – what sort of dog is Yogi and what has owner Chantal Desjardins said? All you need to know
People often say owners look like their dogs but one pooch has taken the internet by storm with his eerily human-like face
A DOG called Yogi has taken the internet by storm after his owner innocently posted a photo of her pooch online.
Chantal Desjardins uploaded the snap of Yogi and her other dog, Daria, an eight-year-old Shih Tzu, but it has since gone viral thanks to Yogi’s ‘human face’.
What sort of dog is Yogi?
Yogi is a fluffy Shih-poo and turned one-year-old last month.
The pup lives in Massachusetts with pal Daria and owner Chantal, who got him last April.
Since his image was uploaded to the internet, people have claimed he has a ‘human face’.
And Yogi has even been compared with countless celebs, from Nicholas Cage, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Sheeran to Leonardo DiCaprio.
Since being posted to Reddit, the image has been liked more than 19,000 times and received more than 600 comments.
One user said: “Probably has a lot to do with close-cut hair around the eyes, especially the brow and snout.
“Eyebrows are actually one of the most identifiable parts of the human face.”
While another said: “Ok the more I stare at the dog the more I'm seeing my own face....this is creeping me out... like looking into my soul weird.”
A third posted: “It scared me a bit to be honest. Also thought this was a face swap.”
Someone else wrote: "Can we find out this dogs date of birth and find out who died that day so we know whose soul is trapped in there."
Another tweeted: "This is scary as heck".

What has owner Chantal Desjardins said?
Chantal Desjardins, 27, claims the image which has set the internet alight is not photoshopped at all.
She told the Mirror Online: “I'm not a photographer at all. I think it's just his eyes and the way he's looking at the camera.
“It's funny because I really didn't see it before. I don't really see him differently."
Chantal said Yogi is just like any other puppy and she never noticed his eerily human-like appearance.
She added he is definitely a good boy.
