The controversial image was shared by a user named @Fatchine on the social network Reddit and quickly “caused a fever”, then was re-shared on many different social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram… shows an image of a dog, which appears to have had its head cut off and the cut has been sewn up with thread.

This image has caused a lot of controversy in the online community. Many people think that this is just a composite image, because a dog cannot live after having its head cut off. Meanwhile, many people have created conspiracy theories and said that this dog is the product of some scary scientific experiment.

“This is so scary, who did this cruel thing to a poor dog? How can the dog live in this condition?”, a user of the social network Reddit commented.

However, the truth about the dog is not as scary as netizens imagine. According to the person who posted the image, who is also the dog’s owner, his pet had a tumor on his right leg, forcing veterinarians to amputate the leg to avoid complications.

The image that caused controversy in the online community was just the moment he took when this three-legged dog was turning its head back to lick its tail, but due to the angle of view, the dog looked like its head had been cut off. This person affirmed that the dog is currently completely healthy and is gradually getting used to the state of having only 3 legs. There is absolutely no way the dog’s head was cut off like netizens speculated.
