Have You Seen This Dog?

No doubt by the same artist who did this one:

wonder if the idea was copied. this other poster started a meme that has been around the net for a while.

Hi,

I'm sorry. But I do not get it, I have looked at it for ages, and I cannot see anything. Is it an optical illusion --- can someome please email me with the answer.

I don't get it either, is it supposed to look like Hitler or something? What is awesome about this dog (apart from the fact that it is cute looking)? What is the special thing?

could have left the description as it was, i took the photo

Joe, you aren't the only one who doesn't get it. I've even gone to the link provided by Miss C, but this must be over my head. Will someone explain what is the big deal with this photo?

"Because it is awesome" should give you a hint if you don't get it.

I think the joke is that is comes off as a "missing" poster... but it is really just the owners proclamation of love.

It's a dog. whee. to echo a couple others,So What? 'Splain please.

The original joke is the cat one posted in the first link. The dog is a cheap knockoff copycat. Don't look too hard - there's nothing really to get.

This one was funnier.

A knockoff? Knock it off queuebot.

I don't think it's supposed to be taken that seriously. I enjoyed it...I mean, it is a pretty awesome dog.

is everyone serious about not getting it?

I thought it was good for a chuckle. 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.

the "xerxes" poster is ancient, it is a popular joke on 4chan (source of all internet jokes) and has spawned a lot of similar "look at this" pictures.

the posted flyer seems to me like somebody trying to replicate the "xerxes" image which i would say is definitely the point of origin.

Anyone who really doesn't get it probably won't find this funny, either.

I've been giggling at it from time to time for about forty years.

The only thing I noticed was the space in "Aweso me" Does that mean the dog is also me?

I seriously hate the queue.

holy crow! That dog could be my dog's brother or sister!

So is the dog really missing or what?
Dumb poster.

This is just an attempt for neatorama to get some cheap publicity you idiots

dang fred, kinda harsh there, calling people "idiots". dontcha think? plus, what publicity?

i think the poster is pretty funny. you see, what they did there, was they took and made it look like a 'Lost Dog' poster. then, you read the bottom and BAM! turns out the dog isn't lost after all. 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.

I think the reason people are having trouble 'getting it' is because they are expecting more, baited by the text "...but take a closer look …" in the post.

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.

Well, what's funny about that???

I cannot stop loving this.

How stupid/out of touch can you possibly be to not get how hilarious this is?

Oh my god to the posters above me.... how can you be such stupid fucks? Quit taking it literally and just laugh dammit! LAUGH!
