You wouldn't believe it until you saw it with your own eyes.

A man who'd consider himself anything but lucky for getting a front-row seat to his neighbour spit-roasting what they claimed was a dog.

Man mistakes neighbour's lamb spit-roast for dog

The caption read:

"Nothing to see here. Just someone catching their neighbour roasting a dog. He also said his cat was missing."

At first glance, one would be convinced of the claim that a furry four-legged pet was roasting away, getting ready to be put on a family's dinner table.

In the now-deleted post, the man filming is heard saying in part:

"We thought we'd record that our Bosnian neighbours are barbequing a dog. You might be looking at this and saying that's not a dog, [but] you can see the tail and an open fire. We're not sure what's on its underbelly."

As the caption suggests, he alludes at the end of the 48-second clip that their cat was missing. However, other X users were quick to debunk the claim as hogwash, clarifying that it was not a dog but a lamb on the spit roast.

Nevertheless, the entire fiasco made for exciting Sunday drama as chirpy netizens reacted to the scenes, which clocked almost 20 million hits in the nearly 24 hours since publishing.
