Look closely: There’s a dog hidden in this kitchen scene

Among the clean countertops, the neatly arranged cabinets, and the warm lighting, there is a huge black Labrador waiting for you to spot. He’s so well camouflaged that many viewers miss him entirely on their first, second, or even third look.

The photo was originally shared by Christina Suvo and later picked up by 7 News Perth, where it quickly went viral. What caught people’s attention was how the dog blends in. His jet-black coat matches the dark tones of the kitchen floor and surrounding shadows almost perfectly, creating a natural optical illusion. Unlike most hidden-object puzzles, where the trick lies in placing something out of context, this image is deceptive precisely because nothing feels out of place. The Labrador is lying calmly where you might expect a pet to rest, and yet, because of color and lighting, he vanishes into the background.

Some called it a test of eagle eyes, while others suggested tricks like scanning the photo in sections or watching for small reflections. For most people, the Labrador finally gives himself away with the glint of his eyes or a lighter patch of fur, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

So, did you spot the dog right away or you needed a second look?

If you still struggle to find it, it lies on the black mat.
