The picture shows a large park with fallen leaves covering the grass – and although there are no animals to be seen at first glance, a sly dog is hiding somewhere.

The dog is trying to avoid detection so he can extend his afternoon walk, but his family is getting more and more worried, can you help them find him?

Need a clue? Focus on the leaves and you will find the answer there.

This task is particularly difficult because all natural colors make camouflage easier for the dog.

Optical illusions are anything made to easily fool us through what we see.

Human curiosity means that solving these perplexing puzzles can bring us a great sense of satisfaction and not only that, but they are also good for our brains.

We’ve said before that pictures are more than just finding and playing – some pictures can actually improve our health.

Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.

And according to ZenBuisness, “These visual puzzles can provide you with good mental exercise, which in turn can help you think more effectively and solve problems more easily.”

Below is the answer to the dog riddle, as well as some others to try.

Advantages of optical illusion

RESEARCHERS have developed many tests to show how different regions of the brain respond to optical illusions.

They are not only entertaining, but shed light on how our brain interprets visual data.

By giving your brain a little exercise on a regular basis, you improve your ability to focus and observe details.

Studies have shown that people who regularly face optical illusions and puzzles see great improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.

Improved concentration and attention span, in turn, can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
