This Dog's Face Is an Optical Illusion That's Completely Confusing the Internet
When you look at this picture, what do you see?
Personally, I see one dog's cropped face in the lower right foreground, another dog's butt in the upper left background, and - this is where it gets controversial - a sweet third pupper in the center tilting his head back and sideways. This is something my dog does all the time when he's ignoring me and I call his name so I can take a picture of him.
But apparently I'm in the minority here, because the brains of the internet are having a very hard time computing the middle dog's face.
Posted on Reddit with the title "Optical Illusion Dog" by user chadwalk, the photo is garnering hilarious reactions from commenters who can't seem to figure out what they're looking at.
"This dog broke my biological face recognition module," one writes.
"I just spent two minutes spinning my phone around trying to see this dog after already coming to terms about how great the owners are for adopting this poor dog, while taking solace in the fact that he doesn't know he's different, only to find out he's ok after all," another says. "What a roller coaster!"
"Ouch, this hurts my brain," another writes.
If you're like me and can see this photo correctly (#teambluedress, amirite?), here's what other folks supposedly see: the dog's left eye is being interpreted as his right eye, his nose is being interpreted as a strange-looking left eye, and his actual right eye looks like a tiny nose. His chin and floppy muzzle could even been seen as a weird right ear.
I asked my fellow GoodHousekeeping.com staffers what they saw, and they're struggling with the optical illusion, too.
"What am I... what is... huh?"
"I thought he looked ugly, but I didn't say anything at first because I didn't want to hurt his feelings."
No matter what you see, one thing's for sure: this dog has no idea that his face is confusing people all over the internet.
