This puppy-counting puzzle contains more dogs than most people notice at first glance.
Start with the clearly visible puppies:
- 4 puppies across the top
- 5 puppies through the middle
- 3 puppies across the front
That gives us 12 easy-to-spot puppies.
Now look carefully for the four smaller puppies:
- 1 peeking from behind the dogs on the upper left
- 1 small puppy near the beagle on the right
- 1 hiding among the leaves at the bottom left
- 1 hiding among the leaves at the bottom right
12 + 4 = 16
The correct answer is 16 puppies.
