People Are Struggling With This Weird Photo Of A Perfectly Normal Dog 🤣

[catbyte]

It's so obvious once you see it 😂

BY STEPHEN MESSENGER

A curious photo has been making the rounds on the internet in recent days — and it's left many people feeling stumped (at first, anyway).

The picture depicts, quite clearly, a little white animal lying down on a blanket. But what's not so obvious is exactly what kind of animal it actually is. A small horse? A pig? A goat? Guesses have varied pretty widely.

Go ahead. See for yourself.



Turns out, the animal above couldn't be more recognizable. Chances are, you're just seeing things wrong.

What, toward the bottom of the photo, appears to be a mouth is actually an ear — and vice versa.

That's right. It's a dog.

Rotating the pic makes things much clearer.



And there's that.

Sure, many pups know how to shake hands or roll over — but it's not every day a dog comes along so skillful at tricks of the eye.

1. Totally freaky, cat!!!

For real!

[dewsgirl]

2. LoL🤣, I was like oh my, what's wrong with it?

I love this kind of stuff.

[First Speaker]

3. That's a pretty white blanket the dog is lying on...

[blugbox]

5. Even right side up

I still can't un-see the unholy baby horse-goat.

11. It is difficult.

The pup has turned his (?) head far to his left and is giving side-eye. This may help, but you may still need to put uour finger over the scrunched right ear,

26. My head was turning.. .

I couldn't see it. Thank you, now I can

[soldierant]

29. YVW.

When I first saw this (in a newsletter fron George Takei) I rotated it and saw it immediately, But seeing it here even rotated I was having trouble myself. So I thought it might help.

[catbyte]

18. LOL. Sorry about that...

[JDC]

6. That is awesome. I admittedly did not see it at first

[nocoincidences]

7. That's a very freaky optical illusion.

Until I saw how it was supposed to look it really creeped me out.

TY

8. A good optical illusion. It looked like a little pig to me.

[BigmanPigman]

13. Me too.

12. Best DU thread ever

Maybe best internet thread ever.

[BHDem53]

10. Looks like a hogdog to me.

[catbyte]

17. With a hint of goat thrown in.

14. K&R for the pupper. nt

[trof]

15. That just really messed up my head.

I could not see it until I read the explanation carefully.

[catbyte]

16. Oh, gawd, me too. I don't see the goat/pig/dog hybrid now that I know which way is up.

It's kind of like those hidden pictures that you couldn't see until you relaxed your eyes that were so popular about 25 years ago.

[trof]

19. like this?

[catbyte]

20. Yes, and these, too:

(If you look at it long enough a giraffe appears.) BTW, I always saw the skull first. What does that say about me?!?

[Dagstead Bumwood]

21. I'm like Mr. Pitt

I never could see those damn things.

[catbyte]

22. ...

[Bob Loblaw]

23. It took a while to see the giraffe

But then suddenly it just appeared like it had jumped off the surface of the image. Cool. Thanks for sharing. I'll see if Mrs Loblaw can see it.

[catbyte]

24. It takes your eyes a while to adjust. I found relaxing my eyes works the best, but even then it took

about 10 minutes for the object to appear when I first started looking at them. The image jumps out much faster after the first few pictures you look it. It's a little freaky but very cool.

[Bob Loblaw]

25. It's been awhile since I looked at one of these

They're really interesting.

[Karadeniz]

28. Something must be wrong with my brain! 3 giraffes jumped out, then one disappeared.

I never saw just one!

[Iggo]

27. Those are dog paws.

But I had to make the same face I thought I was looking at to make it look like anything other than a pig.

Took me a minute.
