"One-Eyed Fluffy Ball" Becomes Internet Sensation: Worldwide Netizens Amazed by Bizarre Creature

Many pet owners adore their furry companions, generously sharing adorable photos on social media, bringing little moments of joy to brighten the lives of online followers. Recently, a mysterious black creature has gone viral, appearing from a distance as a "one-eyed fluffball." Its cute and peculiar appearance has left netizens around the world puzzled.

This one-eyed fluffball has exploded in popularity on various domestic and international social media platforms like Threads, X, and Reddit. With its fluffy, round body and a single white "eye" in the middle, along with tiny legs underneath, it hardly resembles a real animal. It's somewhat reminiscent of a one-eyed version of Totoro or the soot sprites from Spirited Away, and also brings to mind a shiny, alternate-colored version of Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc.

Many netizens were taken by surprise upon seeing the photos: "I was really startled by the first photo, what legendary creature is that?" "At first glance, I thought it was a little soot sprite with only one eye," "I stared blankly for a long time before I understood," "I’m dying of laughter, I thought it was some mysterious creature, so cute," "I'm obsessed with this magical animal," "It's like the homunculus from Fullmetal Alchemist."

Can you guess what animal it is? Here's the answer! It's actually a black Pomeranian named "Shaoye" (meaning "Young Master"), with a gentle and quiet personality. "His hobby is eating, followed by a little nap." The owner is from Shanghai, China, and frequently shares photos of the one-eyed dog on the social media platform Xiaohongshu: "Once you discover this angle, there's no going back." The "eye" in the photos is actually the dog's nose! When "Shaoye" lowers his head, his eyes are somewhat obscured, instantly transforming him into a "one-eyed fluffball."

The "Pomeranian form," where he raises his head and reveals his eyes, is also very adorable! His short legs follow his owner, or he lies on the ground turning into a "doll form," which melts hearts. Apparently, not only cats can transform, but dogs can too! Does your dog often appear in different forms?
