      maybe check the spelling

      Dogs can’t spell. So the guy gets it wrong and the dog agrees that it was spelled right - because DOGS CAN’T SPELL!

      It was intentional.

      This joke is about, how dog owners don’t speak out trigger words, when talking to other humans, to not over agitate their dog.

      Mary: “Hey Sam, how about we go take a …”

      Sam: “Pssshhht, don’t say it!”

      Mary: “Ah ok. I meant we take a W. A. L. K. later on”

      I thought paradolia was just a random word chosen for the spelling competition part of the image. The real joke being about dogs going crazy when they hear the word walk so owners spell it out when talking to someone to prevent the dog understanding it.

    Panel 1 is a hidden layer of the joke that people commenting here don’t get.

    The guy spells “Pareidolia” wrong but the dog accepts it as right because dogs can’t spell. It is reinfocring the joke of the comic.

    The character in panel 1 misspells the word not the comic artist.

    I saw these spelling competitions in some cartoons as a kid, and thought the cartoonists just made it all up.
