A DECEPTIVE photograph of rocks scattered on a beach has played tricks on the eyes of many puzzlers.
Can you spot the two dogs hiding in the scenic snap?
The photo was shared with over 718,000 people on Reddit’s Find The Sniper forum.
“Find the two dogs in this photo,” said a user, writing under the handle Maryapc.
It’s easy to get distracted admiring nature when taking canines for a stroll on the beach.
However, the brainteaser is a reminder not to take your eye off your dog for too long.
Many people confessed the challenge stumped them and they were only able to find one of the two dogs.
“Second dog took me SO long, and I had to zoom in so close [laughing],” one person said.
“I never knew how much a dog could look like a rock until today… and I’m convinced there is only one doggo in this photo,” another commented.
“I saw the first one; of course, I thought, ‘I got this!’ And the other was nowhere to be found!” a third said.
A fourth Redditor begged for hints as they said the challenge was “driving me nuts!”
“I found one dog, at this point I’m just assuming the second dog took the picture,” another joked.
You’ll need 20/20 vision to spot the two dogs hiding among the rocks in under 21 seconds.
Will you be the quickest to find them?
Here’s a hint: Look closely at the rocks surrounded by patches of sand.
If you’re struggling to spot the second dog, zoom into the rocky area close to the seaweed.

A chocolate-colored dog can be spotted toward the center of the image, while another canine is lurking towards the left of the snap.
MORE BRAINTEASERS
The difficult seek-and-find puzzle came after Redditor BigErnMcracken shared an animal-themed challenge on the forum.
Can you spot the bobcat hiding in their backyard?
At first glance, the photo appears to show snow on the ground behind a group of leafless trees.
You’ll need the ability to pay attention to detail to find the bobcat in 30 seconds or less.
One person said the wild animal is “like a ghost,” as they failed to spot it, while another said they would “never” have noticed it in their backyard.
If you need a clue, keep in mind the bobcat has grayish-brown fur similar to the tree branches.
Once you’re ready to stop searching scroll down to the solution below to find out where the bobcat was hiding.
As bobcats can leap up to 10 feet in the air, the sneaky animal has managed to get onto a high tree branch towards the middle of the photo.
Even the most beady-eyed puzzlers have failed to find the animal hiding in a third challenge shared on Reddit.
“I finally have one!” the poster said, writing under the handle LaLaJaJa2016.
“Do you see it?”
The vibrant green moss on the tree bark is obvious, while the mischievous animal is camouflaged.
One person said it took them “a good little amount of time” to find the animal, and another chimed in saying “That’s awesome camo right there.”
Here’s a hint: The creature is toward the middle of the photo.
