The 'Stoner Dog' meme features a smiling, squinty-eyed Shiba Inu who appears to be under the influence of cannabis. First appearing on Reddit and image-sharing boards around 2011, the image quickly became the face of '10 Guy' style humor for the animal kingdom. The meme typically follows a format where the dog shares nonsensical philosophical insights or misplaced realizations that only seem profound when one is in an altered state. It remains a staple of internet culture for its wholesome yet hilarious expression, often paired with 'high' internal monologues about the nature of the universe or household pets.
