I'm finally playing Ace Combat 7, which is terrific, and I saw this magnificent creature in the flesh.
I have no idea why the devs thought they could get away with this, the scene doesn't even really need the dog there!
For further context, jpeg dog is apparently a tribute to one of the Project Aces team member's dog, Toraji, who passed away shortly after the shoot:
Plus, in an interview with 4gamer Kazutoki Kono said that JPEG dog is in fact a video - Toraji just happened to be able to sit very still on command. So maybe "MPEG dog" is most accurate lol
