In the tradition of the figurine, these idealized objects provide a metaphor for the cultural process of socialization of war.  The puppy is an appropriate symbol for the youthful soldier. Like a child, a dog constantly seeks reassurance and approval, eagerly awaiting a chance to prove himself. The character of the puppy, with its soft, warm belly, sharp claws, big round eyes, and very capable teeth is simultaneously the embodiment of innocence and the potential for violence.
