At first glance, you may see a man who appears to be sad or distressed.

But there’s more to the image than meets the eye.

Don’t worry if you don’t initially see anything else.

There are a few ways to analyze the photo to help your brain see the hidden animal.

First, look at the man’s cap and follow your gaze down to his nose.

Perhaps you’ll realize that the cap and nose are both atypical.

From there, take a look at the man’s ear.

It doesn’t look like a normal ear, as it appears to be especially hairy.

The man’s beard also has a peculiar shape.

Taking a closer look at the bottom half of his face may also help you determine what and where the hidden animal lies.

By now, you should hopefully be able to see the dog with a bone hidden within the image.

The tricky optical illusion also doubles as a personality test of sorts.

Art has historically been used by psychologists to study different personalities.

With optical illusions, there’s a mental challenge to find what is hidden or obscured.

Illusions can also help people learn more about themselves, especially when it comes to attention to detail, as with this particular image.
