I didn't understand the meme, but I spent a long time holding my laughter about this post's title.

What.... What does this mean?
The dog wants to eat a hot dog.
By... shoving it up the dogs ass?
Why would you think of asses? Does the sun shine at stomaches?
"where the sun don't shine" is a figure of speech that means one's butt. Which is why this makes no sense.
I mean this in no way disrespect, but, is English your native language?
Edit:

Everyone here not getting that "where the sun don't shine" is a figure of speech meaning the subject's asshole is either trolling or is objectively uninformed on some concept or topic. Why they are uninformed, is unknown, but they are for sure uninformed.
Well, no. But we have a similiar slang ("onde a estrela não brilha" (where the stars don't shine)).
Anyway, maybe it's just a provocative joke to shock people, when the real meaning is just an innocent dog eating a hot dog.
Does yours not mean "shove it up your ass"?
Because if not, I'm curious of the origin of the phrase, because they're far too similar to be different.
Okay, I just looked more into this as I'm writing this comment, and we may be all correct and all incorrect. It's hard to tell for sure, because world history and linguistic anthropology. So, I was right to be shocked and confused at this post because today, in English (which is how this post is presenting itself) up one's butt is 100% how this would be taken at face value and almost nobody uses the phrase literally. However, like most non-native users using English idioms, you aren't technically wrong.
Another example of this sort of stuff is in pluralization of containers containing liquid, for example, beer. In college, I had a roommate who would say "I need to go to the store to buy more beers". Which, technically is correct English, but literally no English speaker I've ever heard pluralizes that, because the liquid itself, as a singular, is the target. So, we say "I need to go to the store to get more beer."
Also to consider is that language, especially English (since it's my native language), is not set in stone; language is dynamic and changes with culture. So, while your phrase in Portuguese may be closer to the origin (I have no idea, but it's absolutely possible), the phrase and idiom have definitely changed because of tv, books, and movies, to mean almost entirely up one's butt, most often as a threat or unkind thing to say, almost never as an endearing way to give a treat to your beloved pet. Which is why all the native English speakers here are so confused and borderline offended. (We love dogs. Don't give dogs hotdogs. We humans shouldn't even eat hotdogs.)
Well, nope. "Onde a estrela não brilha" (where the stars don't shine) is usually meaning someone is at a forgetable/anonymous position or in a bad situation where they lack faith.
Oh what? So it's more like an obscure position and you're out of sight from the gods? Lost without luck kinda?
Lost without luck, yes.
I mean it's the same tunnel.
Is ass to ass the same as kissing someone?
I would say yes.
At least you're consistent.
I’m gonna keep it real with you chief, that conclusion is all you.
What makes you think that?
Me being stupid and not reading the title ‘til just now, mostly.
I accept your apology.
Bad day to be a hotdog, good day to be a hot dog.
Poor dog's sitting there waiting for the food and you're going to shove it up it's ass instead? Wtf is wrong with you?
... do people no longer know what "where the sun don't shine" means? o_O
The sun doesn't shine in the stomach. Does it matter how the hot dog gets there?
Yes, it very much does.
The sun doesn't shine under a rock, but that's not what that saying is referring to.
gimme FOOOOOOD!
ready and waiting
