There is a dog inside of all of us that is waiting to get out

Feb 18, 2009

Just discovered a fun website. For those that love British comedy you should check out the “What dog am I” game – there is a dog inside of all of us that is waiting to get out! This game is based on a computer called SUKA, built in 1975 by Russian scientist Mikhail Volkonsky and now housed in a London museum.

SUKA is powered by CATS (Canine Algorithmic Transfer System™) which is able to determine what kind of dog you are. Simply answer 10 questions, being as honest and accurate as possible and CATS will calculate which breed you resemble the most.

Go to www.gonetothedogs.com and click on picture of game on left side of screen

After you answer each question, don’t forget to click the “Next Question” button on the right.

Here’s my results:
