We all have about 22,000 genes and sometimes we share enough genes with our family to be an almost identical copy of them. Although there may be 50 years between the 2 photos, their faces look the same thanks to the magic of these genes. There are some people who are carbon copies of their relatives, confirmed by their photos that simply blow us away.
Bright Side would like to share with you just how cool our genes can be with some exceptional photos we found.

Canine Courage: A Dog’s Selfless Act Protects Owners from Brutal Intruder
Undoubtedly, our furry companions display an unwavering commitment and love towards their owners. A recent incident highlights the immense loyalty of a dog who selflessly sacrificed his life to save his family. The incident took place in Merauke, Indonesia when Achy Wijaya found his beloved dog in a near-death state in their yard. He had heard the dog barking the previous night.
NtdNews reported that Achy was deeply saddened to discover that his canine was intentionally poisoned. Achy shared on his Facebook profile that his furry companion kept barking, deterring the burglars from robbing their house. However, Achy revealed that they found out about the poisoning when they left their home in the morning and discovered their loyal hound’s fate.
Based on the tragic circumstances recounted, the family reported that they were fast asleep when a group of burglars intruded into their home. Their loyal dog began barking frenziedly, but the noise was disregarded as they assumed the canine had spotted their pet cat. To their dismay, the dog’s barks suddenly ceased, and the next day, they found it lying motionless and barely breathing – having vomited and frothed at the mouth, indicating it had been poisoned. “We wanted to take our beloved pet to the vet, but we reside in Papua where the only available veterinarian mainly attends to cattle. Furthermore, it being a Sunday, the clinic was shut,” lamented Achy. The family attempted to revive their furry friend by giving it milk, oil, and coconut milk, but it was too weak and eventually passed away.
As Achy mourned the loss of his beloved dog who sacrificed himself to save his family, he decided to film the dog’s final moments as a tribute to his heroism. He also wanted to use the video as a cautionary tale for other pet owners, urging them to take heed when their dogs bark.
