The Internet’s newfound obsession––Chill Guy––has reached Bengaluru. The viral meme featuring an anamorphic brown dog, fully dressed up, was recently spotted on a wall near HSR Sector 1 in the city.

In the viral photo, the “Chill Guy” can be seen dressed in shades of blue and a pair of red shoes. However, the dog’s face is not similar to the dog featured in the original meme.

“The Chill Guy has now landed in front of our office in HSR!” an X user wrote.
