A dog mosaic is important to anyone interested enough in having dog mosaic art -- in the sense that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Archaeologists uncovered dog mosaics in Pompeii after the city was buried by Vesuvius. This indicates that dog mosaics were importnat to the people of Pompeii.
The Romans used many subjects and animals for mosaics. They covered whole villas with mosaics on the floors and the paintings in the Vatican are mosaics too. I have been in a villa in Sicily that every floor was covered in mosaics and to see them ramps were put up over them. All sorts of animals and people were pictured. They had lions, tigers, and even girls in swim suits.
Roman mosaics were natural and realistic while Byzantine mosaics were meant to be symbolic.
In addition to giving an even walking surface and a decorative design, mosaics of ancient Rome reinforced the message around a given space's us. The chained dog with "cave canem" at the entrance of a house in Pompeii, reveals that the people of Pompeii kept dogs inside their homes as pets.

Roman mosaics were placed on the floor. They were floor decorations.
Five facts that I thought were interesting about Roman mosaics are that the design of how the tesserae will be laid out is scratched into a thin layer of mortar first, then the tesserae were placed on the mortar, following the pattern. Also, sometimes to make the mosaics very strong, they made a foundation out of broken stones and gravel, then put the mortar down and laid the tesserae out. Another fact I thought was interesting is that the way they designed mosaics is they had books called "pattern books" that had some designs to choose from. Sadly, none have survived. A fourth fact is that Roman mosaic artists almost never signed their work. Lastly, some of the first mosaics were made from colored rocks and pebbles instead of tesserae.
