Both dogs and optical illusions have the power to go viral on their own — but when you combine the two together, sweet canine magic happens.
On Wednesday, Reddit user u/Embeast shared a photo of their Great Dane in the r/mildlyinteresting sub.
“My dog’s ear looks like his own face,” was the simple caption.
Can you spot it?
If you’re struggling, here’s a close up of his ear:

So it doesn’t look exactly like its owner, but it does undeniably look like the face of a dog.
What a good boy.

You know your homemade optical illusion video is doing well when when it gets so many retweets even your mom sees it — and then wants to recreate it herself.
On Friday, Jaylynn Malone tweeted a five-second video her sister had shown her.
You have to admit, it’s pretty good.
Many thousands of retweets later, and Malone’s mom wanted in on the action.

Another day, another mind-boggling optical illusion.
Rather than the usual, girl-taking-selfie-accidentally-ends-up-looking-like-cartoon-character type illusions, though, this one is actually intentional.
Earlier this week, Swedish artist Peder Norrby shared a video of a cool trick he’d made using his iPhone X.
portable hole!? 🙀

There’s only one thing the internet loves more than an argument, and that’s a good optical illusion.
Look, here’s one of a dog. And here’s another of some weird lines that will make your head ache if you stare at them too long.
Anyway, today’s optical illusion features a simple mirror selfie. On Saturday, Marisol Villanueva from Granada, Spain, shared the following two images on Twitter:

Did you spot it?
Villanueva is wearing trousers with a vertical stripe down the middle, but at first glance it almost looks like she has two very skinny, cartoon character-style legs. Read more…

The eye can often be fooled by simple things like the manipulation of light, a change of angles, or a beloved pet.
Even a photo of what looks like a wildly-deformed dog can mess with your mind.
And it can also send the web into a frenzy.
Reddit user, chadwalk posted a photo last week with the title, “Optical Illusion Dog”.

At first its hard to decipher what exactly you’re supposed to be looking at. There’s a dog at the front of the picture and the dog in the back looks like its in position that couldn’t possibly make any sense. Read more…
