Many of us have been there, mourning the loss of the four-legged friend who over the years became more than just a dog or cat, but a member of the family. Although there will never be an exact replacement for your furry friend, a new app aims to help you find a lookalike for your departed pet. PetMatch uses photo-matching software to find the closest match to your former pet. The application allows you to upload a picture of a dog or cat or use one from its gallery. Then, it searches for a pet available for adoption in your area that is the closest possible match to your photo. PetMatch uses image-recognition technology by scanning the photo, registering details such as the shape of the animal’s mouth, the distance between its eyes, its coloring and its general size and shape. From the criteria, it then searches PetFinder, which is a database with hundreds of thousands of animals up for adoption across the United States. While in theory, the app offers a great way to find a perfect new furry friend, it may not take into account certain aspects such as the breed of the dog or cat, so this is something to keep in mind when searching. Although you may not find an exact match, pet adoption is an awesome way to help animals in need and this app helps pet searchers find their next new pet companion.
