At first glance, many people online claimed to have seen a “creepy dog” with its face turned to the side.

Many people couldn’t figure out what was going on with their pet, wondering if it was looking straight, sideways, or if there was something wrong with it.

However, the key to unlocking an optical illusion is looking at the image from a different angle.

If you’re looking at an image on your phone, flip it over to see what’s happening in the photo.

Turning your phone to the right, start by focusing your gaze on the dog’s harness.

You will then see that the dog has just arched his back and turned his head to the side.

Because its muzzle was turned, many thought that one of the dog’s eyes was in a different place, but it was only part of its mouth.

The dog's strange position is what has baffled many people, who have flooded the comments section to express their confusion.
