What's it called where?

A human puts their arms through a shirt's sleeves, their head is hidden somewhere, a living dog's head is put through the collar and the human does something (like.. juggling). Does this thing have a name? Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 06:43, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would just call it a trick. I don't think this phenomenon has yet garnered enough socio-cultural traction to have a name. --Viennese Waltz 07:11, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"dog with human arms meme" -- gets plenty of google hits; and, there's a Dogs eating with human hands vine. Know Your Meme simply calls it Human Dog (and traces origin to Sesame Street). — 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:4176:1674:84F8:476B (talk) 10:35, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
