- A viral photo of a couple of dogs on Reddit makes it look like one has a serious issue.
- It's an illusion: the head is sideways and a dark mark on its cheek looks like an eye.
- Our illustrations should clear it up for you.
Reddit user chadwalk shared a photo of their two dogs last week, and it confused a lot of the site's users.
The dog in front looks a little strange, with one eye visible and close to the camera. But the dog in the back... what's going on?
Other Reddit users were confused, and maybe a little disturbed.
"The top dog's nose looks like a gouged out eye and socket," one user posted. "Unsettling af," wrote another.
Other users cleared it up. As it turns out, the dog in the back has its head turned sideways. It has a dark mark on its cheek, which makes it look like an eye.
Still not getting it? Here's a handy illustration that explains everything.
Still not seeing it? Reddit user runquicklynch drew an outline of the dog's face that should help.
So there it is: The dogs are just fine, and both of them have their faces intact.
