一只狗狗意外刷爆外网,只因有一张人脸?
A 1-year-old puppy is freaking out a lot of people on the internet because of his oddly human face. Yogi is a Shih-poo ― a cross between a Shih Tzu and a poodle ― whose eyes and jaw make him appear very human-like, despite being very dog-like in every other way. “He is the most playful puppy,” owner Chantal Desjardins told Inside Edition. “He always wants to play ball or get his belly rubbed.” Yogi has become an internet sensation in the last week after a friend posted his photo on Reddit. Many people have suggested that Yogi's photos were produced with a face swap program, but Desjardins swears that’s all him. She said she didn’t even realize how human her dog's face appeared until others pointed it out on Twitter. Research suggests that human brains are wired to think of certain types of animal faces as “cute” or “human-like.” The phenomenon, dubbed “baby schema,” means humans tend to associate things like big eyes and round cheeks with baby humans. |
