The Internet just discovered a whole new way to waste time with Microsoft’s What-Dog site, which lets you determine what kind of dog any given person would be just by uploading a photo.
You should have guessed by now we already tried this out with every video game hero and villain we could think of, and it is eerie how spot-on some of these are.
The face recognition sadly isn’t perfect, and I was pretty disappointed it couldn’t find anything for either Mario (and yeah, I tried the live action version) or Leisure Suit Larry, but then again perhaps that’s for the best…
“Soap” Mactavish
Would you send your Labrador Retriever to plant some claymores by the door?
Sephiroth
I’m never going to look at that beautiful mane of silver hair the same way again…
Cortana
Do you think she’d agree with the assessment?
Kefka
I can’t stop laughing at this one!
Kratos
If only it had said “loves his family.”
Lara Croft
The many, many, many mercenaries I killed in the Tomb Raider reboot would likely agree!
Link
I’m now going to always see Link with a dumb grin and his tongue hanging out, but “surprisingly strong body for its size” is so accurate!
Marcus Fenix
Yep, I can see it. He doesn’t take kindly to orders either.
The Arbiter
Well, they nailed the neck and body type!
Max
Somehow I feel like this describes Max from Life Is Strange a lot more than Kefka!
Scorpion
Who’s a cute little Scorpion? Yes you are, yes you are!
Solid Snake
I lost it entirely at “intense stares.”
Tiny Tina
Definitely vocal, energetic, and eager to prey on small animals… or bandits, whatevs.
Elizabeth
That description is amazingly accurate for the character, even if the image doesn’t quite match.
Captain Price
Could you ask for a better jogging partner through a snowy base in Siberia or a dusty airplane graveyard?
Let us know what hilarious combinations you come up with you give What-Dog a try!
