  • The photo of the pet pooch hiding inside the home has left the internet stumped 
  • Social media users have had varying rates of success - so can YOU spot the pup? 

Dogs are known for being full of energy and overly keen for human attention.

So when you walk into a room with a young pup, they're normally incredibly hard to miss.

But someone seemingly forgot to tell that to one canine, who has left the internet stumped by managing to camouflage itself inside a kitchen in Sydney, Australia.

A puppy dog has almost perfectly camouflaged itself somewhere in this kitchen - so can YOU see it?

While your eye would normally be drawn straight it, the animal is nowhere to be seen on first glance.

Adding to the fury of those who have attempted to find the dog is the open layout of the kitchen.

Aside from a large white fridge, a rubbish bin and a selection of items on the kitchen bench, there appears nowhere the dog could be hiding.

But upon closer inspection a pair of eyes, ears and a tail can be seen camouflaging into the black mat sitting below the sink.

Matching the mat perfectly, even after being spotted the dark black pet is still hard to see.

Clearly unaware of the online controversy it's about to cause, the pooch appears to be sitting relaxed on the mat.

The photo has so far been viewed by thousands of people online, with varying rates of success at finding the pet.
