What does this old, vintage photo show? Can you see it? Open the picture in full-size for more details. It was shot by Brown, Barnes & Bell Photo Agency, in Liverpool. The answer is quite simple, but if you still don’t see it, jump inside this article for the solution!
Eventhough it looks like it’s a portrait of some terribly deformed man, actually the solution is much nicer than that. If you flip the photo, the solution will stand bare before you. You will see a nice little puppy taking a nap! Cool Illusion!

a dog sleeping
I thought it was an ear, personally…
Wow, that’s a tricky one! You have to look close if you really want to see the dog! I love this kind of illusions. Keep it up!
this was a pretty pimpin illusion!!!
what is the thing next the head of the dog?
the collar of the “man”
actually, i thought it was some sort of womb [spelling?] in an egg.
before i went into the article i was feeling awfully sorry for that poor man…
after i found out the truth i felt awfully sorry for the poor puppy who happened to look like a sad deformed man…
icouldn’t see it at first……my friend had to help me…..i also had to go to the article to see it flipped….that doesn’t say much for me does it??????O_o
omg! thats totally awesome!
Cool. Oh, and FIRST POST!!! (I know, I’m a geek!)
Awwwww! How cute!
Oh, and BTW, I didn’t think it was a man, I thought it was a seals head! And Vurdlak, not to be rude, but it’s “Terribly”. :)
Bow-Wow
….wow…. … … amazing…
That’s really neat. I must say, I really enjoy your site. I couldn’t figure out what that was, till I saw it side view… really wierd… Yet cool.
THATS COOL
BLARGH!
wow. doggy.
coooool
poor guy. why call him a dog? from the age of the photo he is probably dead by now and i’m sue life was hard. and just because you turn a photo doesn’t make the subject go to sleep.
i don’t think this is a good illusion.
AAAAHHHHHH THATS SO CUTE!!!
I see the dog but i have to look hard not to see the jacked up man.
wow…amazing…lol!~ i really thought it was some guys face gone real bad!!!…ITS A PUUPPYY!!! :D
IT”S A POTATO!!!!!!!!!!
That’s so cool, I love illusions like that!!
neat illusion!
and to reba,stay away from the drugs.
I saw a potato too. Oh well. I guess it’s time for dinner.
Reba, thats not a real person… its just a drawing. as of the photo I think that was really cool! A friend had to help me even after flipping it. Neato!!!!
quite possibly the most disturbing visual, yet alone illusion i have ever seen in my life.
it’s a dog
thats like the most creepy looking man i eever seen and then its like the cutest puppy!!!!!! but theres still like that mmans shoulders errrrrrrrrr
wow thts wierd it took me alittle to see but now its ruff ruff
it is a puppy but the man keeps showing up
and it looks scary for a little bit lol
The elephant puppy!!
Its crazy how many calculations the human brain does when trying to figure out what something is. We involuntarily calculate things like eye location and the distances between features of the face. My brain automatically assumed it was a human, I had to wait til the solution was provided to see the dog. Crazy ass shit.
riiiiiight… BIG WHOOP! a puppy on its side… just what i need.
Nice Illusion, it took me a while 2 get it an’ i had to outline it with my finger for my bro,
Nice site
Respect!
PUPPY

Whoa really weird but I keep seeing the man.

i thought it looked like a seal too

first comes in mind is man with worst face
then realize that this is dog
It looks like an ear and a puppy to me.

Anyone notice that their interpretation keeps switching back and forth, from man’s face to dog and back?
