While everyone saw the dog in the foreground the same, people were split about the dog in the back.

As is typical with most optical illusions, either you see it or you don't. For some, it was just a case of the spotted dog tilting his head. But for others, it was something much creepier.

As it turns out, it's actually just a dog with its head tilted. Take a look again:
