Hilarious photo of bushy dog mistaken for a lion goes viral

People of Spain may have been surprised to see a lion randomly roaming around their local garden; which is what inspired them to contact police officials about this king-of-the-jungle emergency.

The police investigated the complaint after which they took to Twitter to make their findings public.

The police’s official Twitter account posted a picture of the crazy furred animal on March 7. The caption, according to Google translate, says, “Several notices have been received this morning alerting that a lion had been seen loose in the garden area, others a strange bug, but finally we have passed the microchip reader and it has turned out to be a…dog. Identifying its owner”.

The tweet has garnered more than 2,400 retweets and 6,700 likes.

The comment section was filled with hilarious responses for obvious reasons. The police department themselves poked fun at the situation by tweeting an edited picture of the dog with text in a thought bubble that translates to “quiet agent. wow wow’.
