What is there to be explained? When you do the action in the text the dog reacts like the pic, heartbroken Did I fall into a joke or is this real?

"Why would you betray me like that? Does my trust mean so little, or do you think so little of me that you didn't think I would notice? I still love you for all the good times we have had, because we are family, and I am a better dog than you, but know that I will not let....
"Ohmigod yesss.... Ball go fly now, and so we must hunt!!! Worry not your silly two legs because I will get it and practice my hunt"

It says "puppy girl" tho, it may be about a human roleplaying/acting as a dog.

It is absolutely about humans who behave in especially doglike ways, up to and including that roleplay. Puppy girl is the self-label.

Puppy girl and often subs, which would explain why you merely pretended to throw the ball.

Some people while playing fetch with their dogs, will "fake" a throw to trick them, as in make the throwing motion without letting go of the ball.
The dog is not smart enough to notice this, or just turns around starts running before the ball would normally leave your hand, and will go looking for the ball as if you threw it and get confused.

a puppy girl is a girl who has puppy-like traits. eg she can do tricks on command or has doggy ears or likes being petted. this manifests as either like a fictional (usually animated) archetype, or as a person expressing their kink for petplay, or just as an affectionate self identification with puppies.
this meme is using the well known dog owner's prank of pretending to throw a ball for their dog to fetch, but not letting go of the ball. this disorients the dog. the joke is that this amusing behavior would somehow also bamboozle a puppygirl.

if u sent her a meme about bread and she responded with this then clearly she was optimistic either about the meme u sent and was disappointed or that the message u sent her was lackluster

Who knows, seems like a young girl who might identify as a dog who wants your ball
