Is there anything better than feeling like an absolute genius after acing an internet puzzle? The wise people over at the SubReddit r/FindTheSniper don’t think so.
The sub is dedicated to finding hidden objects in otherwise normal-looking pictures, and an image of a pile of leaves is currently taking it by storm.
In case you don’t know

Find the Sniper is basically next-level Where’s Waldo? Users post images they either find or take and challenge their fellow Redditors to find a hidden object, shape, or message contained in it.
A recent SUPER hard one came courtesy of a user who found a ring in a pile of seashells.
Onto the brain teaser!
Redditor SeaworthinessTop7704 posted this image of a pile of branches, leaves, and other yard debris with the caption “find the spaniel.”
Users immediately declared the image a difficult one, which is a badge of honor over on that sub.
People were seriously flummoxed

“Hahahaha. I was cursing out loud that there wasn’t a spaniel in this photo and that OP was f’n with us,” one user declared.
Everyone needed help

While some clever users quickly found the dog, the majority needed to slide into the comments to get a hint or two. Some hints helped narrow down the location — like starting in the center and scanning outward — while others straight-up gave away the trick.
The dog became a big hit in the sub

“It’s either, ‘if I sit still they won’t find me’ Or ‘mom/dad why you making me hide in here’ lol,” another user added.
That dog is a super spy for sure

“He’s a sneaky little devil it took me a while,” a user declared. Well, that’s the understatement of the century.
Let’s find him!

I’ve avoided looking at all the spoilers so far, so let’s dive in and find this cutie pie. The tips said to start at the center and scan outward, so I’m gonna start there!
Found him!

Unlike the seashell picture, finding the spaniel wasn’t too hard. The adorable pup definitely blended in with his surroundings, but we got him in the end! I bet he thinks he’s hiding so well in there.
Did you find the spaniel?

Before I posted the answer, of course! If you did, give yourself a hearty pat on the back. You have super eyes for sure!
