If you can spot the hidden dog in this viral image, it’s a sign of sharp observation skills and what some call “sniper vision”—traits often associated with a high IQ!
There’s a popular Reddit thread called FindTheSniper, where users spend hours searching for a hidden figure or object cleverly camouflaged in plain sight.
One post in the FindTheSniper thread has especially stumped users, leaving them scratching their heads in frustration as they try to spot the cleverly hidden figure.
A user uploaded an image to the thread, rated as “difficult,” with the caption: “Find the spaniel.”
After discovering there’s a dog hidden in the image, one frustrated user commented, “I can’t find him even with the help!”
Another user vented, “I was cursing out loud, convinced there wasn’t a spaniel in this photo and that the original post was just messing with us.”
A third added, “Loved this one—I needed help, lol!”
Another user offered a tip: “Most folks center their subject in the frame, so it’s easiest to start in the center and spread from there.”
This image serves as an example of an optical illusion—a visual trick that causes the brain to interpret something that isn’t immediately apparent.
In this viral photo, a dog is cleverly concealed among a tangle of tree branches. Although the spaniel is technically in plain sight, it’s incredibly tricky to spot!
If you’re having trouble finding the dog, focus on the center of the image and then slowly look left. You’ll spot the brown spaniel nestled amid the branches.
This isn’t the only sniper challenge taking the internet by storm! People have also been stumped by a photo of a snow leopard blending into a mountainous landscape and another tricky image that asks viewers to identify which building is closer to the camera.
