Apply youe favorite method of critique to pic related. I'll start:
>Psychoanalytic
>The River is the barrier archetype between conscious and unconscious experience, its crossing being a transition from ego to superego, or from the comforts of the womb into the chaos of the unknown.
>"The substance in his mouth" is, of course, the penis.
>The other dog in the water, a threat and the object of his greed and envy, his father
>the bark is rebellion against the father. But the father, all-powerful, is not there.
>He loses the food. He is castrated.
Ignore the moral.
Go.

Bump
Queer thoery:
The dog's fascination with its own image is reflective of the desire for a partner with the same gender identity. He lusts after the other dog's "morsel of flesh" (male member). This act thereby emasculates him, and he loses his own "morself of flesh" (male member). This act of self-emasculation is brought on by the inherent self-desire of the homosexual mindset.
Good thread.

The reflection, quite obviously, was placed there by the nefarious Semitic cabal, intent on robbing the proud white dog of his hard earned dinner. The superior intelligence of the white man was incapable of repelling such Jewish trickery. Moral: Gas the Kikes.

Is this sarcasm?
Also this thread would be even better if /lit/ weren't simply brainlets and had any understanding of literary critique whatsoever.

Dank, I like it. Kind of turned me on too.
Dog achieves object
Dog experiences self-reflection
Dog loses object
Dog becomes subject of self
Dog as object is the morsel which is lost in self-reflection
moral: introspection is the loss of self
