Symbolic system
Human touch — Pet, hit, feed, or flee marks your stance. Movement arc — Chase, stillness, or flight ends the scene. Sound or silence — Growl, cry, or mute dog tilts threat vs grief. Pack vs alone — Herd, pair, or solitary dog maps belonging. Color or wound — Surface detail on dog adds emotion layer.
Cultural and classical interpretation
