I got nothing today, so here are two real-life loldogs I observed posted on a shop window recently.

The text at the bottom says "I'm hungry!" in Japanese, in the standard phrasing, which is, literally, "my stomach has become empty." Thus the awkward English.

The first part of that's got to be Irasshaimase. The second half, maybe Go-raiten o o-machi shite orimasu? That aside, this dog is not much of a salesman. The only emotion he evokes is pity.

One thing that really surprised me when I first arrived in Japan is that pet dogs set off my gaidar, just like a white person would. This doesn't happen to me any more, but I think it demonstrates the extent to which we anthropomorphize pets: not only are they people, they're people of the same tribe as us.
