A dog enjoying riding a car

[Hansman]

I have learned that there is an omission of the word are in All rights reserved. It is like All rights are reserved.
And then, Can I insist that there should be an omission of the word is in A dog enjoying riding a car? It is like A dog is enjoying riding a car or should it be like A dog (that is) enjoying riding a car?
What do you think?

None of them work. What word is missing?

Yes. Titles/captions/comments ,etc. are often written in brief form. They are not grammatical sentences.

And then, Similarly, can I insist assume that there should may be an omission of the word is in A dog enjoying riding a car?

That might work as a caption for a picture/cartoon.

If the dog is on the car's roof, I suppose it could be "riding a car". Otherwise, even as a caption, it should be "A dog enjoying riding in a car".

Take a look at entry #7.

What if a dog sits in the car and drives? Have you ever thought about it?

No, because dogs don't drive cars.

What if a dog sits in the car and drives? Have you ever thought about it?

That would be possible in a cartoon or special effects but it can't happen in real life so no, I've never thought about it. If that were the case in a cartoon etc, I'd say "A dog enjoying driving a car". If it was in one of the other seats (not the driver's seat), I'd say "A dog enjoying travelling/being in a car". Bear in mind that British English doesn't use "ride in a car". I believe it's used in American English.
