Canine criss-cross- sold

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8"
Sometimes I stare at snapshots that I've taken and start seeing meaning where none exists. For example, these dogs. They represent all of the forces of good and evil in the world, working at cross purposes, barely restrained by their handlers. The woman in white (angel) vs. the man in dark (you know who he is) and the spectator wearing the red scarf (you, or me).
Perhaps I'm missing something? Do let me know.

You sure the red scarf isn't on a Cardinal? Now that really means something this week!

Love this composition with the human heads missing and the dogs intact. :-)

My first thought when I saw this was 101 Dalmatians! No good or evil at all.

And actually, if you go with the Dalmatians angle, it could be all about love.
