What does the Seatbelt Dog meme mean?
A short video of a small Jack Russell Terrier sitting buckled into a car seat, staring at the camera with one paw near the belt. People copy the clip and reply with it — a deadpan reaction that reads as being strapped in, unbothered, and ready for whatever someone just posted. The joke is how prepared and calm the tiny dog looks.
