Animal lovers can’t resist photos of furry companions. Whether it’s a cute puppy, playful tiger cub, or beautiful horse, they always bring a smile.

Sometimes, though, an image leaves you speechless — like the viral photo we’re about to explore. At first glance, it looks like a dog without a head, sparking confusion online. But there’s no need to worry!

The picture, shared on Imgur in 2019, featured a dog who had undergone front leg amputation. The odd angle as the dog turned to lick its side created the illusion. A helpful Reddit diagram later clarified the situation.

To ease concerns, the owner shared a front-facing picture of the adorable three-legged pup, who’s likely on his way to becoming a social media star.

Isn’t he just adorable?
