Picture Of Goat-Pig Hybrid Has People Confused But It's Actually A Dog

ADVERTISEMENT

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

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

This confused me for a few seconds. I knew it was a dog--but it took me a few minutes to find his actual face. 🤣

Don’t like. Thought it was a pig, then a goat, then a cow, then a dog
