'''Dogs Playing Pool''' is a series of oil paintings created by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, a 19th-century American artist known for his humorous and anthropomorphic depictions of dogs. The series, which includes paintings such as "A Friend in Need" and "Poker Game," was commissioned in 1903 by Brown & Bigelow to advertise cigars. Coolidge's work has since become iconic in American popular culture, often associated with kitsch and nostalgia.

The paintings portray a group of dogs engaging in various activities typically associated with pool halls and poker rooms, such as playing billiards, smoking cigars, and drinking. Coolidge's anthropomorphic treatment of the dogs serves as a satirical take on human vices and behaviors, with the dogs often depicted in comical situations that mimic the social interactions of men in the early 20th century.

While the series was originally intended for commercial use, it has gained a significant following and has been widely reproduced and parodied. The original paintings rarely come to auction, but when they do, they attract considerable attention from collectors. "Dogs Playing Pool" has become a staple of American imagery, reflecting a blend of humor, nostalgia, and Americana. Despite the series' popularity, art critics have often dismissed these works due to their commercial origins and whimsical nature. Nevertheless, Coolidge's paintings have left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape, influencing subsequent generations of artists and remaining a beloved facet of Americana.
