This humorous meme displays text at the top that reads "When you stop petting your dog for 1.3 seconds", above a cartoon illustration. 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.

A simple hand-drawn white Flork meme character with messy black hair is added to the photo, standing on the sidewalk holding a pink smartphone to its ear with a confused, lost expression.
