But Year of the Canis familiaris relies also heavily on nostalgia, ignoring how hip-hop and DMX himself have changed over the years.

While the canine theme is hard to mistake, forgiveness, redemption and, ultimately, the presence of a supreme being present themselves equally a subtext in X's canine mind. It seems like the dog has institute his way home, finally."[14]
