Is this a picture of a demon pig monster or an adorable doggo? You decide.

It's like "The Dress" but much creepier.

Is this a picture of a demon pig monster or an adorable doggo? You decide.

Behold: this mutant dog illusion is way more terrifying than "The Dress."

On Monday, Twitter user @dancingfool75 posted an image that sent everyone spiraling as they tried to figure out what exactly is going on here.

"That's a scary demon pig monster spawn," said me. Multiple times. After staring at it for what had to be close to 10 minutes.

Others appeared to be equally horrified.

Still, I fought through my fight-or-flight response because I was assured by the Twitter replies that there was, indeed, an adorable puppy hidden in this image somewhere.

After an embarrassing amount of time, I finally begged a coworker to come over and point out where this alleged cute dog was.

That happened, and then...I was still stuck. I zoomed in, zoomed out, turned my computer screen a full 360 degrees, sent a prayer to the gods of clarity, and finally I saw a cute lil' doggo giving some serious side-eye.

Here's a few helpful hints if you, too, can't seem to shake the pig monster abomination visual.

To be honest, I still kinda see a monstrosity without turning my screen. Good luck to all of you.
