Three dogs are in a field in front of some rolling hills. One of the dogs is holding a stick and winding up, as if it's about to hit a baseball, while the other two dogs look on.
It's unusual that the dog is playing a sport like baseball because dogs don't have the cognitive capacity to play that human game.
Why is the dog playing baseball? What are the spectator dogs saying about the baseball playing dog?
He's his own best friend.

A play on the phrase "man's best friend." The dog throwing the stick to himself is doing so alone, and taking the role of a human owner who might otherwise throw the stick. So, instead of being "man's best friend", he is his own best friend, and he doesn't need humans.
