The photo in question was uploaded to Imgur in 2019 and quickly racked up over 143,000 views and 3,200 upvotes. As people struggled to make sense of the image, a helpful Reddit user stepped in to provide some much-needed clarity. Using a drawing diagram, they illustrated how the photo was likely taken, revealing that the dog’s head was simply obscured from view.
As it turns out, the dog in the photo had recently undergone surgery to have its front leg amputated. The photo was taken by the dog’s owner, who was attempting to capture a sweet moment of the dog licking its side. Unfortunately, the timing of the photo resulted in the dog’s head being hidden from view, leading to the bizarre and misleading image.
Fortunately, the dog’s owner was quick to alleviate any concerns by sharing a follow-up photo of the adorable pup, showcasing its three legs and putting everyone’s minds at ease.
The incident serves as a reminder to always look beyond the surface level and not jump to conclusions based on a single image. And, as an added bonus, we get to enjoy the adorable photos of this resilient and lovable canine.
