「Bier, death bed of one's dog」as the ACCUSATION that the CONDITION of man's truly best friend (his own penis) is of poor quality and lacks much of a future.「Split wood and taut hands with emphasis」suggests holding or displaying to someone else the CONDITION, APPEARANCE, STATUS of one's wood, for some reason or another, but likely to send a MESSAGE in that regard. Maintenance of written records sent as MESSAGES from medical service providers were required by local officials and used for cross-verification at inspection stations in brothel district gateways.
「Bier(s) and array of men with emphasis」may describe the CONDITION, APPEARANCE, STATUS of a battlefield or the lord's army count of casualties to be reported by MESSAGE, referring to the 'dogs of war.'
A「dog」as it lays beside「bed」of the dog's master guarding at night, or to symbolize unshakable loyalty and devotion to the master at all times. Note that the left element is also a「bier」used to carry a corpse, and may well indicate that a dog remains loyal to a master even in death. A dog is often associated with the CONDITION, APPEARANCE, STATUS of something or someone, presumably due to their extreme acuity of physical senses, including sight, hearing, smell (even able to smell cancerous tumors), but especially their ability to hunt as a pack and being highly aware of all the pack's members and their respective conditions during a hunt at every moment, and probably other senses that humans cannot even begin to understand. This is why humans often use dogs as guards, particularly at night, or as sniffer-dogs to find drugs in luggage, or victims after an earthquake, or as seeing-eye dogs to sense the FORM and SHAPE of something or someone unseen or undetectable by humans.
Some varieties of dogs are fast runners and are trained as MESSAGE CARRIERS: in dynastic China, carrying messages warning of rising flood waters and rivers. The warning system included dogs, more than 3,000 animals at one time, that ran at high speed between stations where roads were in too bad condition to permit a racing rider, and have been particularly useful during battles to cross war zones and deliver news, orders, or other urgent messages when other means of communication are impossible or have failed, and are still used today for this task (K9 units of the police forces, for example). Images of dogs and petrified dog bones (that do not appear to have been gnawed upon, as the skeletons were whole) have been found in the caves of cave-dwelling humans (the「cavemen」again), so the partnership between dogs and humans stretches back far into antiquity.
