Lulu the Failed CIA Dog became an internet sensation in 2017 after the Central Intelligence Agency released a series of tweets explaining why they were 'firing' the black Labrador trainee. Despite months of training for explosive detection, Lulu showed a complete lack of interest in sniffing out danger, preferring to play and eat snacks instead. Rather than forcing her to work, the CIA decided to let her 'retire' and be adopted by her handler. The story went viral as a wholesome example of prioritizing mental health and personal happiness over professional expectations. Today, the meme is frequently used to represent 'quiet quitting,' career burnout, or the relatable feeling of being too soft for a high-pressure environment.
