Smug Dog Taunts Owner After Eating Their Homework
Dialogue
Overview
This is a two-panel vertical meme featuring a yellow Labrador retriever. In the top panel, the dog sits in its dark dog bed next to a pile of chewed, torn paper that represents destroyed homework, with text above it reading "I'VE EATEN YOUR HOMEWORK" and text below the bed reading "AND NO ONE WILL BELIEVE YOU". The bottom panel is a close-up shot of the same dog making an extremely smug, self-satisfied, taunting smirk directed at the viewer, with the text at the bottom emphasizing "NO ONE.". The joke relies on the widely known, stereotypical student excuse "my dog ate my homework" that is almost never believed by teachers, so the dog is bragging that it destroyed the work and the owner will have no way to prove their excuse is legitimate.

The original photograph of the smug Labrador has been a popular meme template since the mid-2010s, commonly used for jokes about mischievous acts where the perpetrator taunts the victim that their claims of what happened will not be believed by others.
