La stagione delle piogge

The illustrations in 'Dogs' are full of personality and humor. I'm curious whether the character designs were based on real dogs or purely imaginative.

The playful antics and expressions made me laugh, but I wondered if the author based these on specific dog behaviors or just general canine quirks.

The witty illustrations and funny scenarios seem to work on multiple levels. Do you think this dual appeal was intentional from the start?
