Dogs have been a symbol of faithfulness and fidelity throughout recorded history. One of the most important paintings in the history of western art is The Arnolfini Wedding, by Jan Van Eyck, painted in 1434. It’s an image that is layered with meaning and symbols, one of which is a small dog standing at the foot of the painting representing new found loyalties. Today in 2016, dogs are ubiquitous in our culture, and this is no more apparent than in the advertising and editorial imagery we see every day. In honor of dogs and the role they play in our lives, we’ve created this gallery.
