Symbologies

What have we here, you ask? Why, this is a dog collar. In theory, it might be ideal for dangling saucily in the air (maybe on a willow wand), in view of spike-heeled male participants at some hypothetical "Walk a Mile in her Shoes" parade. Again in theory, they might not understand the symbolism and what it conveys, but no doubt they'd catch onto it soon enough.

I'm sure there could be other hypothetical occasions where the dog collar might be of use -- for instance, if some dude wanted to pin one of those white ribbons on you. You might just dangle that collar archly, two inches in front of his nose, between thumb and forefinger. In some far-fetched literary scenarios, you could even give him the patented sidewise-arched-eyebrow-smirk®  while you're about it! ;-) I'm sure he would theoretically appreciate the kind thought.

Better yet, take a look at the next picture. Now this here is what we call a dog biscuit. Note how the canine symbology carries through. So if,  in the theatre of your mind, you were to meet the guy with the white ribbon, it is conceivable that you would put on a benevolent, pacifistic face like unto the Quaker man of oatmeal fame, and say unto him: "here, a biscuit for thee, my friend." 

In my mind's eye, I can see the ribbon dude romping happily on his way,  wagging his happy little tail too, if he had one.! :)

Now, take a minute to revisit this old classic:
