Mongrel Puppy in a State of Shock: Discovering His True Identity in the Early 1910s This poignant illustration captures the moment of realization for a young mongrel puppy, as he comes to terms with the fact that he is not, in fact, a bloodhound. The image, published in 1914, is a testament to the complexities of identity and the challenges faced by little dogs in the early 20th century. The illustration, created by renowned English artist Cecil Aldin, is reminiscent of the works of other famous dog painters such as Edwin Landseer. The puppy, with his expressive eyes and drooping ears, sits in a state of shock on a green cushion, his paws curled under him as he clutches a book on dog breeds. The scene is set in a cozy living room, with a sofa and other furniture in the background, adding to the sense of domesticity and comfort. The title of the illustration, "Mongrel Puppy in a State of Shock," speaks to the emotional depth of the image. The puppy's shock is palpable, as he grapples with the revelation that he does not fit neatly into the categories of the canine world. This moment of introspection is a reminder that even the smallest creatures can experience complex emotions and grapple with questions of identity. The illustration is a poignant reminder of the importance of acceptance and self-discovery, even in the face of unexpected challenges. It also offers a glimpse into the world of dogs and their place in society during the early 1910s, a time when breed identification and classification were of great importance. Overall, this illustration is a beautiful and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with audiences today.
