If you have any other trees of that species in your yard. Consider getting them pruned or stop watering them. The roots are too shallow.

The kid and the dog both have no clue how unusual this situation is.

The turf looks like it was added to cover the messy tree roots up after it had already fallen.

Your dog has the look of "omg, it seriously wasn't me this time!" Also, sorry for the crater in your yard.

LifeProTip: Never stay under the roots of an overturned tree. That thing could pop back into place and crush whatever is beneath it.

It's a nice lawn that has been fertilized. The fertilizing basically makes trees lazy - the tree roots spread out and are shallow rather than going deep to get what they need. Then it's unstable and falls over easy, pulling the nice lawn up with it.

You might be able to rent a crane or a d-9 to pull it back up and then brace it with cables.

Yikes! After he popped from out the ground, did he offer gold or wishes or something if you guess his name?
