If you’ve ever taken care of a dog, you know that sometimes they act just like humans, leaving you asking your self if there’s actually a tiny human inside your beloved fur ball. Dogs resemble humans in many aspects, but this one dog’s resemblance to humans is so close, it’s uncanny.
Like any dog lover, Chantal Desjardins posted a picture of her and her dog, Yogi, on her Facebook page, and only her friends' comments about her dog's human like features made Chantal notice the resemblance. Yogi's pictures went viral online, soliciting confused yet hilarious comments from the online community. But even though Yogi has a human like face, he's still just a very energetic puppy who loves to cuddle and play. (h/t)
Meet One Year Old Shih-Poo, Yogi.Here's a sampling of some of the over-the-top reactions Yogi and his face have generated:"This is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen."I call bs. I hope it is anyway, I'm trying to sleep here.This is deeply unsettling..It looks like Nicolas Cage dressed as an Ewok.I'd feel weird petting it.
I laughed, then I got uncomfortable, now I'm rocking back and forth desperately trying to convince myself it's just a face swap.Yogi and his face had clearly made an impression. But while these photos haven't been altered, not every image of Yogi looks so unusual.
The way his fur is groomed, and his position relative to the camera, seem to play an important role in that humanlike effect.Here he is with that same dog as above, only facing a different direction. Looks pretty normal, right?
Chantal says she's gotten a kick out of the internet's bemused response to her dog — probably because she knows the truth.Yogi is perfect."He is the cuddliest fluffiest puppy ever!" Chantal said. "He's the sweetest!"
