"A Couple of Dogs" is an illustration from the series "Les Métamorphoses du Jour" by the French caricaturist Jean-Jacques Grandville, whose real name was Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (1803–1847). Grandville was renowned for his imaginative and satirical illustrations that often depicted animals with human characteristics. "Les Métamorphoses du Jour" is one of his most famous works, consisting of a series of 70 scenes where animals are anthropomorphized to satirize the behavior, follies, and vices of contemporary society.

Published in 1829, "Les Métamorphoses du Jour" features a variety of animals dressed and behaving as humans, engaging in activities that reflect the social and political climate of the July Monarchy in France. "A Couple of Dogs" is a notable illustration within this collection, showcasing Grandville's skillful blend of the whimsical and the critical. The image typically depicts two dogs dressed in contemporary fashion, engaging in a human-like social interaction, thereby providing a humorous yet pointed commentary on human relationships and societal norms.

Grandville's work was influential in the development of the genre of anthropomorphic literature and art, and "Les Métamorphoses du Jour" is considered a precursor to the modern comic strip. The series was well-received in its time for its clever visual wit and its incisive social critique. "A Couple of Dogs," along with the rest of the illustrations from the series, continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its historical significance as a satirical commentary on 19th-century French society.
