The meme uses a fake heartwarming premise as a setup: the text at the top claims that a dog born blind can now see his owner for the first time thanks to modern medical advancements. The punchline is a visual gag: the fluffy light golden dog has cheap plastic googly craft eyes stuck onto its face instead of actually having received vision-restoring treatment, turning the expected touching, emotional story into a silly, absurd joke. A person's hand is gently touching the dog's chin, and part of a person's long hair is visible on the right side of the frame.

A man is kneeling on the floor with his hands on his head, looking annoyed and defeated. An extremely exaggerated, absurdly long-bodied brown dog stretches its entire elongated torso all the way over the man to get its face in front of the man, demanding to be petted again immediately.
