Easily my favorite meme*, although I can only infer the translation.

*I've known at least a dozen or so big, black fluffy dogs that it reminds me of, and it makes me smile every time

It's my favorite as well.

These are unrelated, and recently made me smile: Soon | I should buy a boat.

Roughly, "Hello, dog here."

More specifically something like "Hello [the telephone-specific version of 'Hello'], the act of being a dog occurs." It is understood by context that "dog desu" refers to the speaker, but if s/he wanted to be more clear, s/he could have prefaced it with "Watashi wa" (basically "as for me" or "relating to me").

Okay, that just about exhausted my Japanese other than the über-useful phrase "Watashi wa henne gaijin desu, Nihongo o wakarimasen" ("I'm a crazy foreigner, I don't understand Japanese", spoken in the very formal way).
