Adorable Dachshund Trio Meets Hilarious Doppelgangers During Scenic Boating Trip
It's been said that everyone in the world has a twin somewhere, but what happens when you come face to face with them? One trio of Dachshunds found out when they floated by three other identical pups while boating. If this isn't fate, nothing is!
The hilarious Instagram video shared by @morgan.rolo.pebbles captures the incident as it happened, and it's one for the history books! Take a look at their interaction!
"Dachshunds: Unidentified vessel, sound the alarms!" the video begins as Morgan, Rolo, and Pebbles spot another boat nearby and begin barking their heads off. Once the camera pans over, it's clear why—three other Dachshunds are mirroring them, barking in response!
"Other boat: Are we going to get a ticket from Wiener Patrol?" the video continues. "Dachshunds: NO, but you'll get a misdewiener for failure to say hi!"
There's nothing better than three Dachshunds on a boat, except three more!
"Smart people, they said HI!" the caption reads.
The timing of this outing is too perfect and many of Morgan, Rolo, and Pebbles' 18,000 fans check in on what they're up on on a regular basis. They didn't get the bio, "funny, cute, and dramatic Doxies" for no reason!

Why Some Dogs' Doppelgangers Are Actually Pet Parents
If you've ever seen a dog who looks eerily like his or her pet parent, there's actually a scientific reason. The American Kennel Club notes two different studies that dive into this phenomenon of pet parents and pets being Doppelgangers.
The first study, by psychologist Sadahiko Nakajima, researched participants and had them match pets with the pet parents based on two sheets of photos that focused on facial features alone. They found that "80 percent of participants correctly identified the sheet with real owner/dog pairs!"
The second study, by Borbala Turcsan, investigated how people end up with similar-looking pups, suggesting pet parents choose dogs that "in some way resembles him or feels familiar."
This may happen because parents naturally gravitate toward someone they share traits with, such as similar personalities (like extroverts choosing extroverted dogs or quiet, shy parents opting for quiet, reserved pups). Turcsan also suggested human-dog pairings resembled "those of married couples," which is astounding!
Though Morgan, Rolo, and Pebbles may have found a trio of puppy Doppelgangers, they very well could end up looking more like their pet parents than any other Dachshund on a boat. Stranger things have happened!
