The Dialogue of the Dogs

The clever use of animal voices to critique human society feels so unique. I wonder if Cervantes was inspired by similar satirical works or if this was entirely his own invention.

The dogs seem to expose human follies more honestly than the humans do themselves. It made me think about how animals can sometimes see through human pretenses better than we do.

The satire feels sharp and relevant, but some references might be dated. Do others feel the humor still resonates or does it require historical context?
