While a dog symbolizes kindness, and loyalty, it also possesses a weakness of will. Its personality and actions are dependent on, and are controlled by, its owner. So it becomes fierce when asked to be fierce, and gentle when asked to be gentle.

In this painting, the dog is the loyal lover who doesn’t understand that without warning his beloved can one day toss him aside for another. He is merely her toy, her pet.
