People have been left scratching their heads at a photograph of a dog because they can't figure out where its body starts and ends. A man has taken to Reddit to share an optical illusion of his dog that makes it look as though the poor pooch has been "decapitated".
He explained how his dog was laying down on the pavement with his head against the curb when he took the shot. The man said: "My dog laying down with his head on the curb. It looks like he's been decapitated." The post has racked in more than 52,000 likes and has received almost 600 comments from people "who need more information" to make sense of the photo.
One user said: "Stuff like this breaks my brain."
Another user added: "This makes me oddly uncomfortable. Please post proof of life for this little doggo."
A third user said: "Literally rewired my brain and I finally saw it instead of what seemed… disturbing."
It comes after pet owner shared the hilarious moment she discovered how flexible her new puppy really is.
Ellen Mackenzie, from Wawa, Ontario, US, turned to the back seat of her car to discover Howard, a five-month-old Great Dane in a rather peculiar position.
The puzzled pup was captured resting his head between the seats with his legs dangling over the front - appearing to look like two separate dogs.
Ellen shared the hilarious moment on TikTok, where it was viewed by 3.7 million people amused by the pooch.
"He's all legs at the moment. He's still trying to figure out how those work," Ellen said.
