There is a snapshot circulating on the internet that has folks confused about the subject matter. At first view, it appears to be a decapitated dog, which explains why there was widespread alarm and concern. It will undoubtedly cause you to do multiple double-takes in order to comprehend what is going on in the image.

However, it isn’t as sinister as you may assume. And we are extremely grateful for it!

The image was shared on Imgur, where it instantly generated a commotion. And we can clearly see why. The image had more than 143k views and 3.2k upvotes.

However, it was eventually revealed that there was no need for concern about the image. It was only a puppy who needed surgery to have his front limb severed. The snapshot was the sad result of his owner taking a picture of him as he turned around to lick his side.

Someone was able to show how the picture occurred using a drawing diagram, which helped to clear up any doubt for individuals online.

To set everyone’s concerns at ease, the dog’s owner presented a full-frontal photo of the now-famous pup with his three legs.

He’s a cute little creature, and we can only imagine that he’ll soon become a social media pet influencer.
