Phase One: Do a test run on myself:

As much as I hate to admit it, this is exactly spot on and I am now certain this thing is incredible. This is the AI we need.

Phase Two: See if the site could identify dogs featured in children’s books.

Hmm, okay I think city dog is a beagle (right?) but this Rhodesian Ridgeback looks pretty close. Maybe this site isn’t quite as good as I gave it credit for initially.

Phase Three: The Ultimate Test: See what breed it assigns to the Shel Silverstein author photo on the back of The Giving Tree.

Phase Four: But what does it say about Honest Abe?

Phase Five: Try it on a bunch of iconic children’s book faces.

Agile, loving with family – I think Ella would be good with this one.

Can’t say the look is spot on, but how about that description? I feel I have happened upon a new form of horoscope or something.

Okay, what-dog.net – you’ve lost all credibility. Blog post over.
