At first glance, a lot of us see the 'because it is awesome' right away and assume thats not the 'secret cool thing to look closer for'. But it is, apparently. I guess most of us internet pplz are used to looking deeper for something more obscure in a post that challenges you to 'look closer'. Bascially, the 'trick' was so obvious that most thought they were missing something more.

YEA! they just think their dog is AWESOME. so awesome that they felt compelled to trick you into looking at him and now you also see that he is awesome...and not lost at all as you first suspected. dang fred, kinda harsh there, calling people "idiots". dontcha think? plus, what publicity?

I don't get how anyone could not get it though. There isn't a hidden message or anything to it... just a flyer that looks like a Missing one, cept it's just someone saying that the dog is awesome.
