English term or phrase: squirrel
Of course I know the secret to life...SQUIRREL!

Trata-se de frase "engraçada" que será colocada em foto com a imagem de um cachorro. Existe algum sentido para "squirrel" neste contexto? Não estou captando a ideia...

Muito obrigada desde já.

esquilo
Explanation:
A tradução seria “Esquilo” mesmo.
A piada é que o cachorro se distrai ao ver um esquilo, como no filme Up – Altas aventuras. Veja aqui algumas cenas com essa piada:

agree  airmailrpl: o cachorro se distrai tentando pegar um esquilo - as long as the "esquilo" sits still - the dog does also - just waiting for the "esquilo" to move
3 hrs
  -> Obrigada! Acho que o acréscimo depende da imagem. No filme, por exemplo, os cachorros ficam parados, não tentam pegar o esquilo (que, na verdade, talvez nem exista).

agree  Mario Freitas: Boa explicação, Ana.
