dbo is a user.
It's a permanent member of db_owner.
You can add other users to db_owner, but not every user is part of db_owner.
Anyone who is a part of db_owner will have the same permissions as dbo.
Anyone who is not part of db_owner will not have the same permissions as dbo.

??? Are you looking for something specific here?
