Dogs. They’re everywhere, maybe even in your own home. You might know them as ‘man’s best friend’, but they’re even more than that, they’re art. They have been featured on album covers for decades.
Dogs represent loyalty, companionship, and love, making them a natural choice for artists who want to evoke warmth or nostalgia. They were especially popular in classic rock, country, and folk because these genres often focus on themes of home, travel, and storytelling. Some artists used dogs to create quirky, humorous, or even rebellious images.
