In episode 104 of The Jim Henson Hour, Jim Henson cites these paintings as the source of inspiration for the television movie Dog City which aired during that episode. The look and style of Coolidge's settings were adapted to the gangster film noir genre of the 1930s and 40s. The Muppets at Walt Disney World features a scene with Rowlf performing "I'm Doggin' It" live from the Detention Hall of the Walt Disney World Pet Care Center, with a number of Muppet dogs, including two groups of characters who recreate scenes from Coolidge's paintings.

- Dogs Playing Poker is a series of oil paintings by C. M. Coolidge. In 1903, the advertising firm Brown & Bigelow commissioned a series of 16 paintings from Coolidge to depict dogs acting like humans. Of these 16, nine show the dogs seated around a card table, playing poker and smoking cigars. They show various stages of what might be the same poker game; for example, in A Bold Bluff, a Saint Bernard's hand can be seen by the viewer but not by the other dogs; in Waterloo, the Saint Bernard takes his winnings. Looks Like Four of a Kind is a well-known painting that was a follow-on to the original series.

Looks Like Four of a Kind is a well-known painting that was a follow-on to the original series. The series has a kitsch appeal that has made it part of American pop culture. For example, in Larry Shue's play The Foreigner, a character staying in a lodge remarks she does not want to be in her room because "the damned painting [in there] is Dogs Playing Poker." There was a computer game based on the paintings. On February 16, 2005, two of the paintings sold for US $590,400. [1]
