It's a bit of ancient humor that is baffling to anthropologists because no one knows what the joke means
That's actually really interesting
Is it not just an ancient version of “a blonde walked into a bar. Thunk! The brunette ducked under the bar.” joke?
I get it.

I like the interpretation that the dog is an allegorical representation for a sort of goofus bodyguard.
The point of security detail is that they just chill and stand by, right? All discrete and such, like the ancient version of the Agent 47-lookin' dude with an earpiece who fades into the background.

I, too, was bothered by the joke for years, and this is the first explanation that has adequately satisfied me.
