A puppy pushes a wheelbarrow carrying two smaller pups, a small joke staged to make dogs look like working people. Photographs like this, c1914, belong to a popular early twentieth-century genre in which animals were posed in costumes and human roles, such as errands, chores, and household scenes. The humor depends on the dogs' apparent seriousness about their tasks. Viewers of the period often enjoyed these images as novelties, and they now offer a window into how pets were pictured in popular entertainment.
