Optical illusions have a unique way of captivating us by playing tricks on our minds. They often make us peek twice, trying to uncover hidden secrets within images. This kind of visual marvel exists not just in art or books, but also in everyday life.
Take a look at this remarkable image of a seemingly ordinary kitchen. There’s no mysterious intruder lurking here; instead, it’s a mischievous dog that’s testing everyone’s visual abilities.
Many who have tried to find this sneaky pooch admit they were puzzled. Are you ready to join the challenge? Glance at the picture below and see if you can spot the big dog right under your nose!

No rush if you don’t notice it straight away. We’re here to guide you through this fun process, step by step.
This intriguing image was initially shared by a woman named Christina Suvo, according to 7 News Perth. Christina assured that a dog is indeed camouflaged within this snapshot. Although many doubted her claim, she stands by it. Can you pinpoint where the dog is hiding?
Here’s the complete image of the kitchen. Do you see the dog now?
If you’re still struggling, don’t fret. Initially, many didn’t spot it either. Let’s approach this methodically, much like we do with optical illusions: divide the image into squares.
Start focusing on each section individually, beginning from the top left corner.
As you thoroughly inspect each square, you’ll unravel this canine mystery. Remember, this playful Labrador is cleverly concealed, so take your time and enjoy the puzzle.

Any luck spotting the dog yet? Here’s a hint: look closely at the fourth box.
Still not visible? Focus on the lower right corner of the image. Therein lies your clue!
If you’re still having trouble spotting him, take a look at the image shown here:

Notice the arrows highlighting the dog’s prominent features: eyes, ears, and belly. Despite the challenging camouflage—a black dog on a black carpet—you can detect a contrast. His lighter stomach and the pink in his ears subtly give him away.
This time, with the highlighted image, identifying the dog becomes simpler. His charming face, with a long nose, big eyes, and one turned inside-out ear, is clearer now.
The deceptive fellow is a black Labrador. A fully grown Labrador can weigh between 65-75 pounds (30-35 kilos), making it even more curious how such a sizable canine could blend in so well!
Did you manage to spot the dog right away, or did it take you a little detective work?
