Robot dog illusion

After posting about the 50 papercraft robots I couldn't help but print out the robot dog illusion and make it. After all, it's a robot dog version of the dragon illusion that I've been meaning to make for years now (and still haven't). It only takes a few minutes to put together so check it out.

SuperRobot Dog Version!

It was most likely a typo. He pressed L instead of K, after all, they are right next to each other.

 I have always loved the Dragon illusion and it took me years to find a skeleton one that I had seen somewhere. This robot dog is a great one to add to my collection, so thanks :-D
Hopefully, if I can add pdf's to this comment, here are the others I have, for you and any other fans of this illusion, including one that I found, that somebody has made from a photo of their own dog, which gives others the opportunity to do the same with their own dogs, assuming the head is the suitable shape, mine isn't sadly as she has a flat face :-s

 PS. I had an attempt at making a Evil Monkey one from Family Guy, where his pointy finger also followed you, as well as his head, but never finished it as I made the job a bit too difficult by trying to make it a one piece cut-out, like the dragon! Its nearly there though, maybe I'll finish it one day :-)

 That is so cool. I really didn't understand it until the 10 time I watched it. I showed it to my coworkers, they thought it was CGI!

if you make it, it works best if you close one eye

 I always wonder how people come up with the design in the first place...

That is spectacular...

 Wow, this is great. Usually I can figure out illusions like these and make not appear as illusions but I can't with this one.
