Pulgoso is the dog from the 1994 Mexican telenovela Marimar, whose inner thoughts were voiced for comic effect. Short clips of his laugh later circulated on Latin American soundboards and messaging apps, where the clip became a quick teasing reaction rather than a scene quote. It sits naturally alongside a laughing dog meme or gato riendo in collections of animal laughs. Its appeal has lasted because the snicker is instantly recognisable, needs no setup or translation, and can answer almost any small embarrassment online in under a second.
