Abstract

Through all the years humankind and dogs have lived together, there has been multiple representations of this relationship along many media, highlighting the pictorical ones for its longevity and continuity. Following a historical route, this text analizes the recent apparition of the comic as a hybrid form of representation that has gained popularity along the last century, giving more centrality to dogs, so we can contrast them with other pictorical representations that determine the cultural imaginary of the dog-human bond. Using ethnographic testimonies of in-deph interviews to humans living with dogs, this article tries to socioculturaly contextualize recent representations based of the cotidianity intimacy. This analysis pretends to highlight the dog’s representation’s evolution towards the reality percieved by the humans who live together whith dogs in the last decades.
