What's the rebus, here?
Rover to Lassie: "You're it."
Lassie to Spot: "You're it."
Spot to Benji: "You're it."
Benji to Rover: "You're it."
Rover to Lassie: "You're it."
Lassie to Spot: "You're it."
Spot to Benji: "You're it."
Benji to Rover: "You're it."
Hint
In a game, when we use the term "You're it", to what are we referring, and what is the name of the game?Answer
Dog tag.In the game of "tag", when one person "tags" another, then that new person becomes "it" and can then "tag" some other player who then becomes "it"...and so on.
The names in the body are popular dogs' names or (also) names of movie or celebrity dogs.
The phrase "dog tag" is also a colloquial or idiom indicating a form of identification tag similar to that worn by dogs that has (perhaps) name of animal, owner, phone number, address, vaccination record, etc.
The phrase was first popularized in the military and used to describe the metal tags worn around the neck by military personnel. It has since been co-opted by other organizations to describe most any kind of externally worn ID such as a name badge.

kukmiester and changegurl: The dogs mentioned in the teaser were playing the game "tag" where one is it and tags the other who then becomes it. Therefore, dogs playing tag = Dog Tags. Dog tags being tags worn on a dog's collar for identification purposes and also in the military for identification if needed. Hope that helps a little.

Thanks Kalliann!
Have some of these myself! You got two of them and the reason is kind of dark .. I noticed that the tag started with rover and ended with rover so I thought "tagging around" but the expression is "hanging around" so it must be time for a cup of coffee! Good ice breaker!
Thanks for the comments zonahobo.
