Former Fox News star Bill O’Reilly tried to boost his new, exclusive interview with President Donald Trump on Thanksgiving, but the informal photo accompanying his announcement elicited a far different response, as people across the Internet reacted with both concern and mockery over his pet Corgi’s panicked look.

CNN contributor Ana Navarro-Cárdenas captured many of the online commenters’ sympathies for the dog, as well as the many allusions to the numerous multi-million dollar settlements of sexual harassment lawsuits that resulted in O’Reilly’s ouster from Fox News: “That dog needs prayers…and a lawyer.”

I’m pretty sure Bill O’Reilly’s Thanksgiving tweet should launch a dog rescue campaign, no? pic.twitter.com/wJz1fAC7Tw

The expression on your dog’s face is the same as that of every woman you sexually assaulted and harassed at @FOXNews

So glad you’re now podcasting to 12 people from your basement @BillOReilly

You are about to write at a $32,000,000 check to that dog.

That dog looks like it just found out how much money you paid to women to keep them from talking about whatever it is you did to them.
