Can you spot the dog hiding in this image?[/caption]
The picture shows a glorious home on a beautiful summers day but a glum looking man is standing dumbfounded in the middle of the room.
With a dog lead in his hand the man is clearly ready for a walk but for some bizarre reason the puppy is no where to be seen.
The illusion is made especially difficult as the dog is very well camouflaged into the image and its only small so you’ll barely notice it.
At first, there is no chance there is a pet in the picture but the harder you look the faster you see it.
Spotting hidden animals like a dog can be one of the toughest tasks in optical illusions as they’re never quite where you expect.
But luckily these puzzles are super fun to try out with friends and can be a great conversation starter.
In this particular piece, people with a high visual IQ should be able to spot the dog within seconds and leave themselves enough time to enjoy the rest of the image.
If you still can’t help the man out here’s a huge clue.
The reason why the dog is refusing to go on a walk is because he’d much rather have a lie down on the comfiest part of the floor.
