This is a two-panel relatable comedy meme. The left panel is captioned '6 year old me telling my dog that if he speaks to me I will keep the secret', featuring a person with a soft, earnest pleading expression holding their hands up in a gentle, sincere gesture as if making a serious promise. The right panel is captioned 'My dog', featuring a small chihuahua peeking over a surface with a smug, knowing, secretive expression. The joke lies in the implication that the dog is perfectly capable of speaking, but chooses not to because he knows no one would believe the young child if they told anyone their dog can talk, so the promise of keeping the secret is unnecessary to him.
