In December 2015, a picture purportedly showing a dog that had been badly burned while rescuing a family from a fire started circulating on social media: This image does not capture a dog who was badly burned while rescuing its family from a fire (or injured through any other means). The photograph shows a dog with a piece of ham on its face. While this may seem obvious to some viewers, several people liked and shared the above-displayed Facebook post as if it were a genuine item. Stephen Roseman, the Facebook user who posted the infamous image, admitted that the story was fake in the comment section below his post: The image, in other words, was initially shared specifically to poke fun at both the people who tend to share 1 like = 1 prayer messages on social media sites, and at the people who would subsequently point out that it was a joke.
