This meme features a candid photograph of a small white dog walking toward the camera with a happy, open-mouthed expression, carrying an orange and white tabby cat on its back. The cat has a stoic, unamused expression and appears to be riding the dog as a mount. Black text overlaid at the bottom quotes a dramatic passage from the Christian Bible's Book of Revelation: "And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the rider's name was death". The humor comes from the absurd juxtaposition of the silly, mundane pet interaction with the ominous, apocalyptic religious text, framing the dog as the "pale horse" and the cat as the personification of Death riding it.
