The Dogs Wearing Pantyhose meme, also known as 'Gougou Chuan Liankuwa' in China, first emerged on Weibo in 2013 before taking the global internet by storm. The trend involves dressing dogs—particularly Golden Retrievers and Samoyeds—in sheer black tights or leggings to create a bizarrely human-like leg appearance. Users typically share these images to mock fashion trends, express a 'fabulous' mood, or simply highlight the absurdity of pet ownership. It remains a staple of surreal animal humor, frequently resurfacing on platforms like Reddit and Instagram whenever someone discovers the uncanny valley of canine hosiery.
