Matt Loeser has here drawn extremely realistic, chewed-up dog toys, but in his artist statement he doesn't talk about his dog or even much about the expired dog toys themselves.  He talks about the reasons behind making these drawings, and it has something to do with dealing with his own human nature.  Matt recognizes that he himself has gone through the process of being domesticized.  No longer a free-roaming college student, he now has responsibilities.  We live inside a social climate that idolizes pro-longed youth and displaces responsible living as something for "old people."
