Do you think there is anything unsual/weird in this picture?

Group of people - one showed it to two others and said [the detail] was strange, and couldn't everyone else see it? One disagreed, others weren't sure.

So, here is the picture from a social media feed. Do you think there is a thing weird or strange in this picture? Maybe that is the wrong word... or just a sort of second look. The grey box is for privacy of the person who was in the original image.

The giant picture of a dog cocking its leg to have a piss?

JaneJeffer · 20/02/2022 01:27

Yep weird

DeoForty · 20/02/2022 01:27

Yes, the dog lifting its leg? Or is it a wonky tail.

ClumpingBambooIsALie · 20/02/2022 01:45

I mean it's definitely incongruous. Very few places where a giant silhouetted pissing dog would be congruous, TBH.

Succinctly put! Yes, that. Grin

It is like my local theatre that has an art activity Room for children

Rhannion · 20/02/2022 01:55

Quite unpleasant to have a dog cocking his leg. 🤮

themental · 20/02/2022 03:36

I missed the dog thinking the red wall looked kinda squint 🙈😂

DropYourSword · 20/02/2022 03:38

I don't think it's that strange given that the room clearly is designed with a dog theme. I think the cowering dog is worse (and even then, not that bad!)

DockOTheBay · 20/02/2022 04:27

What sort of place is this!? The whole thing is weird! The pissing dog picture, the orange plastic dog, one single cat face? Oh nd the one dog who is greyed out so it looks like that one died.
What is the purpose of this room???

NinaDefoe · 20/02/2022 04:35

Everything about it is weird.
Is it a place for dogs, cats or children?
I thought ‘dog cafe’ at first - reason for soft toys on beanbags? But then I saw the cats and the children’s reading books ????
The pictures of the dogs cocking their leg is grim.

illyawasthebest · 20/02/2022 04:36

It feels a bit like a creepy nightmare.

mathanxiety · 20/02/2022 04:44

Apart from the strange positions of the dogs, it's weird and uninviting, and what's the mirror for?

Roseandgeranium · 20/02/2022 05:05

The whole thing is weird. Weeing dog is peculiar but so is greyed-out dog and multi-position cat and the massive rat above piss-dog. Not to mention huge blue shiny papier-mâché (?) dog at the front. It looks like the public-facing office for a company offering sprays, motion-activated lights etc to keep rats, feral animals and other people’s pets out of your garden but which is now used for hosting toddler groups. I don’t love it.

I could be wrong but this looks like it could be from the Horniman Museum Cats and Dogs exhibition and is intended to be educational. In which context it seems fine to me!

Sillybeagle · 20/02/2022 08:29

Could just be my eyes but the weird cocking leg dog looks like his lifted leg is the wrong way round? Looks like the foot should be facing the opposite way…. Weird!

Beees · 20/02/2022 08:36

Agree with others the whole room is bloody odd. What is the purpose of it, I guess it's a space for children but I wouldn't want to put money on that.

The decor is beyond weird and i would wonder why those images had been used. It almost seems deliberately provocative as there were surely a lot more suitable images to choose from and more readily available, presuming they are wall stickers, so why choose these ones?

Riverlee · 20/02/2022 08:41

The dog cocking it’s leg is pretty obvious.

I thought the dog cowering down looked a bit scared also.

Gardeningcreature · 20/02/2022 08:47

At first I thought a children's play room but it's not very welcoming.

JacquelineCarlyle · 20/02/2022 09:26

It looks like a place of nightmares!

Dogsaresomucheasier · 20/02/2022 09:28

I missed the dog but wondered if the two cats at the top of the panel on the right side were shagging!

WeeWeeMe · 20/02/2022 09:35

I thought weeing Dog had been stabbed but now think that's his tail.
Dog on opposite side looks like he's been stabbed.

JuliaSways · 20/02/2022 09:39

Is it Doggy Daycare?

Yeah the silhouette theme is weird verging on creepy from a human perspective but I believe dogs see silhouettes more than detail?

Crochetcacher · 20/02/2022 09:39

That picture makes me feel uneasy but I can’t say exactly why? I noticed the dog with something sticking up! And the colours just look off somehow?

Yes it is from the Cats and Dogs exhibit at the Horniman. It’s going to be about behaviours and a cats/dogs eye view of the world. Taken out of context it looks odd but so would lots of stills from lots of museums with no context given.
