If you can’t find the animal after 10 seconds, here’s a hint – the creature you’re looking for is a dog with pointy ears and wolf-like features.

The dog’s fur blends in with the trees, so it may be difficult to locate it.

If you still can’t find the dog, direct your attention to the snow bank about halfway down the photo.

If you look closely you’ll see the dog’s head popping out above the snow.
