We mean this with the upmost respect, but this dog looks a lot like the wonderful actor Laura Dern.
The resemblance between Dern and Kimchee the Maltipoo was first noticed by Twitter user Margaret Lyons, who tweeted a picture of Kimchee on Tuesday with the very direct caption, "This dog looks like Laura Dern."
People agreed! This dog does resemble Laura Dern. The tweet quickly took off, garnering thousands of retweets and likes throughout the day.

But then something truly amazing happened. Through the power of a viral tweet, Dern noticed, and concurred that the dog did in fact, looks like her.
Should she have played Renata in Big Little Lies?! https://t.co/cLBwXG4FLT
