A Confusing Photo Of A Strange Animal Goes Viral On Twitter, And It Might Confuse You As Well
One year ago, the Alaskan Reddit user, under the nickname mmmckinnell, posted an inconspicuous photo in r/whenyouseeit. The picture came and went with modest interest, and seemed like it was about to be forgotten in the annals of the internet forever. But as it happens, just a few days ago, it resurfaced again and exploded on twitter, Instagram, and other social media. It caught the curiosity of everyone. Just what in the hell is it? Chupacabra; Baby-version of a ManBearPig; a weird lovechild of a calf and a goat; scientific experiment gone wrong; a new breed of animal no-one has ever seen before?

Be honest. What kind of animal did you see the first second you looked at this photo?

“Secret” revealed

It turns out it’s just a ‘plain old’ dog named Doug. He’s a rescue dog from Valdez, Alaska. And just like a sasquatch, a celebrity, or any other weird-looking creature caught on film, he enjoys privacy and being seen as rarely as possible. And so, like a mythical monster, Doug hides in obscurity, never to be seen again by the hungry curious eyes of twitterers, remaining a legend.
Not a complete 180-degree plot-twist, but a solid 90-degree viewpoint change

Don’t like. Thought it was a pig, then a goat, then a cow, then a dog
Made me think of the 'Worst angle to take a picture of a seal' picture
The 'goat monster' image is facing to the left. The eye is still an eye, but the dog's ear is the goat monster's snout, if that helps.

I do have a sense of perception that's a little "off" so I saw a cute dog wiggling at first glance. I learned about the goat-monster-thing in the comments and had to look hard to see it!
At first I thought it was a goat, then I thought maybe a photoshopped photo to make it look like part dog part goat, and then I finally saw the dog. This hurt my brain.
at first it looks like a freakish pig but when i adjusted my phone i saw a dog
looked like a deformed calf to me at first, but the thumbnail cropped off the top of the image, including the dog's nose so that made it even more odd.
