My parents have a dog that they love treating like a human being. In fact, they refer to him as my brother, and they often confuse our names. I'm quite used to getting called "Max" by my mother when she is being affectionate with me, and Max, in turn, gets called by my name when my mother is upset with him. Despite the birthday parties, sweaters, and tiny rain boots, Max is very much a little dog and not my human brother – but what if he were? He's 10-year-old Maltese, so he'd likely be a very short, white haired, middle-aged man. He'd wear onesies and nag children to get off of his lawn.

Talented illustrator @kangyannan is known for his drawings of animals re-imagined as human beings. These aren't some silly sketches; each illustration captures the essence of each animal perfectly with their unique design, expression, and fashion. Scroll down to check out a selection of his work.

  • Out of all the characters here, I'd like to hang out the most with the bird man above. I feel like he has some crazy stories up his sleeve about sailing the seven seas and likely knows a sea shanty or two.
