You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the dog hiding in this snowy scene

IF you manage to spot the pup hiding in this snowy optical illusion, you have the eyes of a hawk.

This wintry image has left internet users baffled - but do you think you have what it takes to spot the snowy pooch?

The camouflaged canine is hidden somewhere among the white branches and snow covered landscape, but viewers have been left defeated as they inspect every inch of the picture trying to spot the hound.

Some speedy searchers who spotted the dog may be able to claim they have 20/20 vision.

The image was shared on Reddit by r/FindTheSniper, where users were challenged to find the hidden mutt.

Many have given the festive puzzle a go and left their reactions in the comment section.

One wrote: “Image compression makes it look like a potato. But found him.”

Another commented: “The elusive Arctic Wolf”.

If you’re struggling, you should focus your attention towards the centre of the photo, and look out of the beady open eyes.
