China: Dog Heads Pop In and Out of Wall in Playful Display

On March 31, 2026, in Henan, located in central China, a video recorded a tall brick wall filled with openings. From those holes, numerous dog heads stretched outward one after another. The dogs looked around curiously at the world beyond the wall. Some moved from one hole to another, disappearing from one opening and then reappearing at a different one a moment later. Their repeated switching created the effect of a playful display wall made entirely of dog faces. Each dog seemed alert and interested, using the openings like windows to watch whatever was happening outside.
