Can You Spot the Dog in These Pictures? Man’s ‘Finding Momo’ Game Has Internet Abuzz

Momo, a black and white border collie, is not specifically adapted to blend in with his surroundings, but he sure does a good job of it as Instagram users are finding out.

A feature by Mashable about the viral craze describes #FindMomo as “the real-life version of Where’s Waldo?

Momo’s owner Andrew Knapp, an Ontario-based graphic designer, takes photos of the dog, which he said frequently hides himself in the landscape, and posts them online via Instagram for everyone’s enjoyment.

“I love taking photos of these landscape and streetscapes, but without a subject or a sort of quirk, there was just nothing really interesting about them,” Knapp said, according to Mashable. “With Momo in them, you’re forced to look at the photo for at least a second or two.”

See if you can spot Momo in these photos:

      I found Momo very quickly in those pictures. If he was all black like me, he would be harder to find.

      Okay I enjoy a little change to break the hard news, but Blaze, you’re getting out of hand. Sesame Street type journalism does not become you. Too much going on to see this “alternative” style of news. Didn’t look at the pic’s, don’t care what the story is about. I’m thinking the purpose to pull a Friday type news catch like Obama does when he breaks something important late friday afternoon. Whoever Beck hired away from the Hufpo or the new yorks times, whichever, it’s starting to show.

      Why do a lot of people get on the Blaze for posting a “silly” story? Some complain that this is a waste of time to read. Then why read it at all? Go and read a story that’s more to your liking.

      @Yahshua: Is this the only thing you can post? This Vimeo link is your only postings but with a bit of different text. I looked at your past posts by clicking on your name and it seems that you have a one track mind. Or do you have stock in Vimeo and get paid for referrals? Come up with something new for a change.

      To Yahshuarules: I wouldn’t say that I’m offended by your posts. It’s just that they get old after a while when your name comes up and it’s the same old, same old all the time.

      I have watched the movie. I even burned it to DVD. I tell my friends and relatives how I believe and have even sent a few of them the link. If they watch it or listen to my point of view that’s fine. If they don’t that’s fine too. I have a sister who voted for Obama both times. I’ve sent her some “fact sheets” which were a few pages long but she didn’t read them and threw them away. Some people are just lost causes and I don’t give a damn about them. I’ve even thought of burning her a copy of Agenda but she’d probably just throw that away too. I might add that she’s a state union member too so that explains a lot.

      You can’t change anybody that doesn’t want to change. After a while, when I see your name, I don’t even read what you have to say, especially when I see the Vimeo link, just because I’ve seen your same comments on other stories. By now I believe that most of the commentors who come to this site have seen your multiple posts and have either watched the video or, like me, have passed over your comments because they are going to be exactly the same, only different.

      To Yahshuarules: Your last two comments I did read just because there was no link in them and you did address them to me. I can understand what you are trying to do but after a while I would presume those who have watched the video just pass over anything else you have to say just because the Vimeo link is there and mostly it’s just a cut and paste of your last comments.

      I am no history or religious scholar by any means but I have done some reading and do know that God inspired the Constitution and our Founding Fathers. Without that we’d all be speaking British now. I also believe that if we follow His ways and teachings He will prevail and save us in the end. We may have to fight for it in the end but that time will tell.

      That’s just my two cents. May God bless you and protect you and your family. Or like the Vulcans say, “Live Long and Prosper”.

    Funny there are a lot of complaining, but the fact is; YOU ALL LOOKED. Whether is was lame or not, it is a little divergence from all the other problems in the world. News does not always have to be about bad things. That’s the problem. Everyone wants to see or hear about the bad things. Get a grib and enjoy some of the good things in life once in awhile. Otherwise your nothing but grumps whether your a flamin liberal or a conservative. Smile you’re on Candid Camera!! Remember that?!?!

    For all the haters, cynics, and “super geniuses”, learn to read:

    ‘“I love taking photos of these landscape and streetscapes, but without a subject or a sort of quirk, there was just nothing really interesting about them,” Knapp said, according to Mashable. “With Momo in them, you’re forced to look at the photo for at least a second or two.”’

      So in other words it’s a gimmick he’s using to get people to look at pictures that the photographer himself thinks are boring and uninteresting. You can celebrate that if you like, I won’t be joining you.

      Right. I think these are great! If you didn’t know to look for the dog, you wouldn’t immediately spot him in some of the photos. It was fun for me when I did spot him…simple pleasures, without cynicism. The dog’s presence adds interest. What great companions dogs are!

      Rowgue, did I say celebrate it? Take it for what it is, get a grip, and move on.

      Personally, I enjoyed them because the dog is in them. I’m glad I’m not as angry and cynical as most of you.
