Inspired by the symbolism of the Rider-Waite tarot, this vibrant deck features various breeds of dogs, each chosen to represent the tarot’s archetypes. The art style is a unique blend of collage, combining natural elements with the spirited essence of different dog breeds, creating a visually appealing and emotionally resonant experience for dog lovers and tarot enthusiasts alike.

Symbolism and Themes

This tarot deck connects us to the wisdom and intuition of dogs, reflecting themes of unconditional love, protection, and living in the moment. The choice of dogs for each card is thoughtful, with the personality of each breed aligning well with the traditional meanings of the tarot cards. The deck serves as a tool for healing and self-reflection, encouraging users to embrace the joyful and protective energy that dogs bring into our lives.
