It's not uncommon for people to jokingly compare themselves or other people to animals.
People that are tall have been compared to giraffes. People who have long necks have been compared to horses. The list goes on.
But what if you could get a more accurate reading about what kind of animal you really look like?
Microsoft's new Fetch app uses photos uploaded by users to guess which dog breed the subject of the photo resembles most.
The app was originally intended to help interested users find out a dogs' breeds, providing vital information for dog owners who, for whatever reason, don't know their dog's breed. It can also tell users what human personality traits fit best with specific breeds.
For more fun, the app guesses what kind of dog a person looks most like and sometimes identifies dog breeds that other animals look similar to. However, Fetch usually can tell when a user tries to get a reading on an inanimate object.
Fetch, which is comparable to projects previously released by Microsoft, like one in which a data system guesses your age based on a photo, was released Thursday, just days before the American Kennel Club's Meet & Compete and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
