World, meet Yogi — an adorable pup whose appearance certainly has a lot of people talking.
If you said, “Hey! That dog has the face of a man!” — you’re not alone.
And indeed, there’s something undeniably human about little Yogi’s countenance. The piercing gaze of his light almond-shaped eyes, the sense of a strong brow ridge above in his fluff, and those soft pinkish lips all definitely play a part in giving the dog the uncanny look of being part-person.
Seeing Yogi with a more dog-looking dog drives that home even more.
Yogi’s owner, Chantal Desjardins, never thought her dog really looked that humanlike at all, telling The Dodo, “Looking at him, normally I don’t see it!”
It was only after sharing Yogi’s photo on Facebook that Chantal heard otherwise.
“He looks like there is a human in that dog body,” one friend wrote.
“Why does one look like you did a human face swap? It’s freaking me out,” added another.
Then one of Chantal’s friends posted a picture of Yogi on Reddit — and the internet really began weighing in.
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.”
