It's an actual art asset in the game. So you'd have to ask Firaxis, I suppose.

Last night I had rain starting to pour while on that loading screen. I thought of the dog art thingy (forgot the name for the artsty frame thing) getting ruined by misterious indoor rainining.

EDIT: "painting". the word was "painting". I need another coffee.

I've only had that happen since installing the More Environmental Lighting Maps mod. I think it has something to do with the thing switching from interphase to in-map assets, but I could be wrong because I know little on the subject of how the loading scenes are rendered. All I know is that, about 90% of the way through loading the upcoming map, the lighting'll change dramatically, usually the door will go to a different color entirely, and the framerate'll skyrocket.

And, yes, they're all good dogs, especially in Raqqa. Or where ever PPG was stationed, I forget.

Yup, had that happen to me as well. But I don't mind, those scenic settings are well worth any glitches in the loading screen (as long as it does load the mission :P )

Intentional or not, "misterious" is the best pun I have heard in months.

It maybe the new 1.3 faceless. Players were getting to suspicious of that resistance guy just hanging around.

I like the dog, because it brings to bear the idea that we are at a resistance camp, a place where people are trying to lead their lives. But it seems weird that this portrait would be in so many resistance homes.

So I figure there are two possible explanations. The first is that this is not a portrait of a family pet, but of Scruffy the famous resistance dog, a hero who famously sniffs out faceless and forces them to reveal themselves by urinating on their legs. The second is that these portraits were sold by wal-marts before the invasion and when the looting ensued they were widely available and so grace the walls of many a resistance home. Originally, the dog was just a placeholder picture for anyone wanting to buy the frame, but most rebels don't have a better one, so they just keep the dog.
