Yup. The collar adds to the confusion and IMO the "art" in the work because of that confusion. You only put a collar like that on an animal when you WANT it to be intimidating and perceived as vicious (so, the owner). However, the dog looks almost undead or rabid or something.

Really mixed on this; I like the piece but hate the message.

I’m pretty sure there’s a decent amount of people that put spikey collars on their dogs cuz they think it looks cool. Like I own a couple of spikey chokers for myself and if I had a dog I think it would be cute to get it a matching collar

Have a look at the specific collar of the dog in the artwork again, and tell me how that's "cute" to anyone that doesn't know you.

You might think it's cool yourself but honestly, that's irrelevant to the fact that that particular collar on that particular dog breed clearly sends a message that is not "cute".
