People in stitches over panoramic picture of dog that went horribly wrong

People cannot stop laughing after a dog owner accidentally snapped a panoramic picture of her pet while he was playing in a park – the schnauzer looks like a ‘wig on legs’

While almost everyone has a camera on their phone, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it to take crisp and clear images each time. People have been left in stitches after a dog owner accidently took a panoramic picture of her dog, leaving him looking like something “straight out of Chernobyl “.

The schnauzer was innocently playing in a park when his owner decided to snap a picture of him – but she wasn’t expecting to see such a striking image when she later checked her camera roll. Sharing the picture to Reddit, a user simply wrote: “Panorama of dog goes terribly wrong.”

While most users couldn’t help but laugh at the owner’s technology mishap, others shared their thoughts on whether it’s a dog or actually a ‘wig on legs’.

One user said: “It’s a happy fuzzy T-Rex with a treat,” while another user added: “Straight out of Chernobyl.”

A third user joked: “It looks like how I feel…” before one user asked: “Where the hell am I supposed to pet this thing?”

It comes after baffled Google Maps users spotted a ‘six-legged’ dog walking down the street with its owners in San Jose, California, America.

In one shot outside Los Paseos Park, the dog appears to have six legs and two abdomens, making it look as though it is more than twice the length of the average dog.

But when moving further down the street, you quickly realise it is just another one of Google Maps’ unfortunate camera glitches.

One confused social media users said: “I found a dog with six legs and it’s very funny.”

While another responded: “How is this real?”

Google randomly schedules its cars to come around, possibly to guard against people from performing stunts when it’s on route.

However, they do update their satellite images once every one to three years.

Google Maps launched in February 2005 as a “new solution to help people get from point A to point B”. It is now used by more than one billion people all over the world every month.

Most recently, it announced its Live View, which helps users better navigate the world around them by providing them with arrows and directions clearly overlaid on their maps.

A Google Maps statement reads: “We launched Google Maps as a useful way to help people get around.

“As we’ve added features and capabilities, Google Maps has evolved into much more than a website that gives you turn-by-turn directions.

“Today, it’s a gateway to exploring the world—both digitally and in real life, on foot or by car, via public transit or a wheelchair.

“The world is constantly changing, and so is the way we get around in it. And as it does, Google Maps will be there every step of the way, building new tools that help you navigate, explore and get things done, wherever you are.”
