The image was uploaded to Imgur, where it soon attracted a lot of attention. And we can certainly understand why. The image received over 143,000 views and 3,200 upvotes in the end.
However, it was eventually discovered that there was no reason to be concerned about the image. It was just a puppy who, unfortunately, had to have surgery to have his front leg removed. The picture was taken at a terrible moment when his owner snapped a photo of him as he turned around to lick his side. Someone was able to use a drawing diagram to show how the picture came to be in order to clear up any confusion for folks on the internet.
