What does it mean, What's the Thought behind the Picture?

The "Nashville Walls Project", sponsored by Gibson Custom Guitars, will bring eight of the world’s top street artists to design and paint a series of murals across the walls of some of downtown Nashville’s oldest buildings, between 1 May and 1 July 2016. The interactive event encourages the public to watch the artists paint and chat with them while they create. The artists who will participate are Herakut (Germany), Rone (Australia), Niels Muelman (Amsterdam), Adele Renault (Amsterdam), Hush (England), Mars1 (USA), Mike Shine (USA) and Curiot (Mexico). The idea behind the project is to encourage art, especially public art, in all its forms. “Nashville has always been known as an arts city, and the ‘Nashville Walls Project’ will add to the City’s ‘visual arts’ image.
I saw this picture on a building last week while walking out of a parking garage across from The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville. I'm really into art, not so much abstract, but I try. This mural just caught my eye and I wanted to understand it. So does it mean that an animal could save a family, is the dog a metaphor for security or protection, or does it have some other meaning?
I'll probably continue to wonder and search to find out the meaning of this painting, but I think that's what the artist wants. Herakut did an outstanding job on this mural.
If you have any thoughts about the mural's meaning, please let me know.
