The gist
He posts his dog with a sad story about a rude passerby; the first reply reroutes the insult.

💡 Why does that reply land so hard?
He posted fishing for sympathy for his dog, and the very first comment calmly redirects the insult onto him. All he can do is laugh.vs. the US: hunting for "aww" replies and getting roasted instead.
💡 There's a pun in there?
개 means "dog" but 개- is also slang for "super," so the reply reads as both "the dog's cute" and "it's super cute."vs. English: like "that's dog cute" meaning both at once.
