If you can spot the hidden dog in this viral image you apparently have a high IQ and ‘sniper vision.’
There is a popular Reddit thread called ‘FindTheSniper’ in which people spend hours scrolling to find a figure or item hidden in plain sight.
One particular post on this thread has left people scratching their heads in frustration.
A user submitted an image to the thread with the rating ‘difficult,’ alongside the caption: “Find the spaniel.”
After learning there’s a dog in the image you’re meant to locate, one person wrote: “I can’t find him even with the help.”
Another said: “I was cursing out loud that there wasn’t a spaniel in this photo and that original post was f***ing with us.”
“Loved this one I needed help lol,” responded a third.
Someone else advised: “Most folks center their subject in the frame so [it’s] easiest to start in the center and spread from there.”
This image is an example of an optical illusion, a visual misinterpretation that tricks the brain into perceiving something that isn’t real.
This viral photo shows a dog hidden among a mass of tree branches – although the canine is in plain sight, the pooch is incredibly difficult to spot!
If you’re struggling to spot the dog, try looking at the center of the photo and slowly glance left, where you’ll find a brown spaniel hiding amid the branches.
This isn’t the only sniper challenge going viral online – people have also been baffled by a photo of a snow leopard up in the mountains and an image where you need to identify which building is closer to the camera.
