What does the “Doggo Arrest” meme mean?

The humor stems from the stark contrast between the serious tone of a crime report and the visual absurdity of an animal being led by police. It is used to highlight situations where a creature is treated as responsible for a human act, or to point out a funny visual mix-up.

Where does the “Doggo Arrest” meme come from?

The full video was uploaded to YouTube on October 26, 2022. The author, presenter’s name, show, and TV channel remain unknown. The exact filming date is also unknown. The image of the white dog in the back of a police car circulated since at least 2016; it was posted by a user named Taka, claiming to have taken it two years earlier in Nagoya. Another image of the dog at the wheel exists online as early as 2009. The meme relies on this humorous edit juxtaposing a serious criminal topic with absurd animal photos.
