Okay. This made me laugh way more than it should have.

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

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).
