Embark’s “Close Relatives”

Hi! I know this has been asked a bit, but I’m looking for some specific feedback.
So my dog Duck is a pretty big mixed bag of different breeds.

The highest % he has is about ~34% Supermutt! Then theres
~30% Pit Bull
~16% Lab
~7% Beagle
~6% German Shepherd
~6% Golden

Anyways, recently a Relative has popped up. It is showing 29% shared DNA. This dog also is in the same city I live in/found my dog in.

Is this maybe an ACTUAL close relative, or is it just a common fluke? I know that shared DNA doesn’t work the same as with people, but I can’t seem to understand exactly how. Any thoughts appreciated!!!
