It was originally published in Die Gartenlaube, the first successful German mass-circulated periodical, issue 25, page 415. The publication was intended for family entertainment and included short stories, essays, current events, poems, and full-page illustrations.

The origin and date of printing of this particular print is unknown. A notation in pencil, "Animals 1887," is on the bottom right corner of the print. On verso, Ann Lanier, who donated the item to the DPCA Archives, states "text from Howell's The Complete Doberman, original from book Animals 1887 in German."
