      This joke is about, how dog owners don’t speak out trigger words, when talking to other humans, to not over agitate their dog.

      Mary: “Hey Sam, how about we go take a …”

      Sam: “Pssshhht, don’t say it!”

      Mary: “Ah ok. I meant we take a W. A. L. K. later on”

      I thought paradolia was just a random word chosen for the spelling competition part of the image. The real joke being about dogs going crazy when they hear the word walk so owners spell it out when talking to someone to prevent the dog understanding it.
