I see the comic as an attempt to translate the existential stress a dog “feels” to the human experience, especially it’s intensity.
Because even with no language, no consciousness as humans have it, dogs do experience intensity you could measure in cortisol levels, heartbeat, eye movement etc.
The comic is useful for those who are interested in translating that to human experience. A communicative form that works well is narrative framing. It gives your empathy a correspondant in your conscious thinking.
