Hints

Click a Tab to reveal the Hint.

The original shape shows the dog walking. Think about how that shape will change after the dog gets hit by the car.

Dogs walk on all four legs, but since this poor pooch isn't doing much walking anymore, the position of his legs must have changed.

US Version

The dog is probably sprawled out on the pavement where it got hit. To show this, you'll need to move two of his legs, or two matches. Take the two legs in the middle and bring them above.

Solution

While it's all terribly sad, try to think about how the dog looked after the accident...

Correct

The car flattened the poor dog!
