The Liberty Township father and son have identical noses, smiles, eye shape and hairlines - which include identical cowlicks in both the front and back.
"People always say he looks just like I did when I was that age. We have photos of Brent and I, both taken at 2 or 3 years old, and the similarities are really obvious," Wallenhorst says. "You can't tell us apart."
And that's just fine with them. We asked Tristate families to send us photos of their "dad ringers" - fathers and children who share a lot of physical characteristics. We received close to 200 photos, and chose some of the most striking to share, in honor of Father's Day Sunday.

Just tell a joke to this father/daughter dad ringer pair from College Hill and you'll find out why everyone says they look alike. They have the same muscular builds, and identical smiles.
