Most of the images posted to the Reddit community r/confusing_perspective are of the same variety as tourists “holding up” the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
But occasionally, something really unique is shared and this one of a presumably very good dog had people more than a little freaked out.
“Three legged dog licking his back,” the post says, but even the description doesn’t help.

At first glance (and second, third, and fourth glances), it definitely looks like this dog is missing more than just one leg.
His head. His head is missing, with only a scar in its place.

More than one commenter tried to… fix it. Which somehow made it creepier and cuter.
Others tried to lean into the whole scary factor more.

Thanks, I hate it.
Seriously, though, what is happening with this dog?!
Finally, someone made a quick sketch of what was going on.

The sketch shows what you would see if the camera swung around to the other side.
What made this particular pic so weird was the missing leg.
When the dog twisted to reach his itch, the scar shifted with him.

Of course, people refused to believe it until they saw proof that the poor thing really does have a head.
And he’s so cute!
