it's a mexican artist, if I remember correctly. The dog is a real dog, which he purchased from the owner after it died. The rest is elaborated photography and photoshop work. Don't remember the guy's name, but yeah it's fake allright.

thank god...

[–]fire5ide 3 points4 points ago

Thank god, If this became big on Reddit, I can only imagine all the cat lovers on here doing this with their dead pets for karma on r/aww

[–]U_Can_Trust_Me 2 points3 points ago

Thanks for your comment... If I did not know that this dog was previously deceased I would of been much more disgusted by this post.

[–]terriblecomic 0 points1 point ago

haha elaborate?

It has pretty much a stock photo of tweezers being held by the back of the "doctor"'s hand

[–]startrekdentist 14 points15 points ago

First thing on r/wtf to actually make me think wtf

[–]LogicWizard 2 points3 points ago

It's fake.

[–]Ewrong 12 points13 points ago

YOU DON'T SAY?

[–]DemonOMania666 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I just thought that. I was like well, for the first time, through gored hands, sex diseases and diabetic gangrene, for some reason this is the first one to make actually say, "Good God, WHAT THE FUCK?!"

[–]startrekdentist 0 points1 point ago

the poor dog.. :( people I dont really care about, but dont hurt the canines!!!

[–]mersh_danger 5 points6 points ago

Even if this is fake it's still amazingly fucked up. This might actually be the first thing on here I've truly thought was fucked up. Idk what it is exactly - I'd have to think about it more than I want to - but this is somehow on a different level.

[–]dirtyjersey84 2 points3 points ago

if you think thats fucked up...there was a performance art installation in which some asshole tied a dog to a post with a sign saying don't feed...no one did and it died after a week in agony

[–]stevensky 1 point2 points ago

That was the point, to highlight the fact that the people did not feed the dog. The artist goal was to question who is really terrible ? People following a little sing and letting a dog die or him tying the dog down.

The dog could have been saved, all that was needed is somebody to feed him.

[–]kindlykatie 0 points1 point ago

That exhibition was a hoax. It was created by a shock artist named Guillermo Vargas to draw attention to the issue of starving dogs and controversial art. He was the first person to sign his own petition.

[–]l3reakdown 0 points1 point ago

That's exactly what I was thinking. Never have I felt so truly SICK to my stomach from a simple r/wtf image.. But this just.. takes the cake..

I just want to know what's going through his mind as this is happening. What makes a person commit to something like this. It's only going to need to be removed shortly after. The dedication. wipes tear from eye

[–]LogicWizard 7 points8 points ago

It's fake.

[–]Kbear52 -2 points-1 points ago

It's real

He's a real artist

[–]tgjer 0 points1 point ago

Dog is real, surgery is fake.

[–]Willifur 2 points3 points ago

WTF did I just click on? Even if it's fake, it's disturbing. "Let's make it look like we cut a dogs head off and glued it to our face!" -Sociopath

[–]Mandypants45 0 points1 point ago

Not just glued, also sewn!

[–]Cyclone3000 0 points1 point ago

WTF?!?

[–]RUEZ69 0 points1 point ago

It was interesting four months ago when it was on here the first time.

[–]window_pain 0 points1 point ago

breathes sigh of relief upon reading comments, confirming the fictional nature of this disturbing set of photographs

[–]c0p0ralSNAFU 0 points1 point ago

[–]thedirtyspatula -3 points-2 points ago
