It was a dog until it wasn't! A family in Brazil was left stunned after they saw what appeared to be a dog's head on the terrace of a neighbour's house. Only moments later, it turned out it wasn't.
Carolyn Muylaert, from Rio De Janeiro, was so bewildered that she started to film the apparent dog staring back at her from the nearby rooftop.

But after Carolyn made a noise, the creature moved to reveal it was actually a white cat with black markings that looked uncannily like a hound's face. You got to see it to believe it.
The incident occurred on December 23 and was shared by ViralHog on YouTube. The video has recorded more than 18,000 views and counting.
The video showed a black and white animal on a terrace at a distance, looking very much like a dog. As the camera zoomed, it started becoming clear that it was a dog's head ¨C until the animal moves to reveal it is the back end of a cat that had been lying on the roof.
It was the black markings and tail that looked like to have done the trick. It uncannily resembled like the eyes and muzzle of a dog, baffling Carolyn, her girlfriend and her girlfriend's mother who were looking from a nearby balcony.
¡°We found the cat in the video by chance from our balcony. When my girlfriend saw it, she asked, ¡®Is that a dog on the roof?' Her mother said it was a cat. We couldn't believe it,¡± the person behind the video was quoted as saying.

Many people were left in utter disbelief, as they commented on the post saying they were tricked too.
"Holy Shit - that actually scared me a little," one user commented.
"I don't believe my own eyes," another said.
" What is this? what the heck? man what? why? what is this? All I was doing was just browsing and ended up with this!" a third user said.
The family's confusion is reminiscent of that caused by another optical illusion captured in a snowy forest last winter.
The picture shows either a hiker walking into the woods or a black poodle running out of the forest.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear the picture was actually of a black poodle running towards the camera.
