A dog owner noticed an unusual marking on her pup's chest.

And it looked eerily familiar.

Fran Dickson and her Schnauzer-Bichon mix dog named Murph live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

After Dickson found an unusual spotting on Murph's fur coat, she took him to the groomer.  

Afterward, she realized he had an odd self-portrait on his own torso, according to Jam Press.

Dickson told Jam Press that while her dog needed a good grooming, she wasn't expecting to see her dog's self-portrait on his body when she picked him up.

"He was very matted and knotty — the groomer had to shave really closely all over," she said.

Dickson said she was shocked at Murph's grooming — and didn't realize the spots until hours later. (Jam Press)

Dickson said she "burst out laughing" when she saw the result.

She immediately showed off his new look to her daughter and husband when she wasn't able to contain her excitement.
