What does the “Laika on Holiday” meme mean?

Where does the “Laika on Holiday” meme come from?
In early 2022, during a segment from “Jornal do Almoço,” on NSC TV (a Globo affiliate in Santa Catarina), about families enjoying summer vacation at Canasvieiras beach, in Florianópolis, the reporter caught a labrador dog named Laika sitting in a beach chair, wearing a hat and sunglasses alongside her family. The sight of the dog relaxing like any other tourist caught the internet off guard and quickly turned into a meme, described as Brazil's first big viral meme of 2022, with edits and videos spreading across Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
