But the dog&#8217;s serious expression and response imply that he is not in on the joke. The dog sees his human companions operate the phone day after day, but he is never included in this mysterious ritual. He has waiting for this moment for a long time, for the day when the phone would ring, and someone would ask for dog. This is his big moment.</p> <p>This simple image, within seconds, opens up an entire world of possibilities and interpretations.
