William Hogarth and His Pig-Like Pug

The Painter and His Pug by William Hogarth.jpg
William Hogarth, Painter and his Pug, 1745
My curiosity got the best of me re the previous post concerning "Hoggart"... so what could the inner twin world possibly mean by the cryptic phrase re hog art?  And because we've also been on a "dog" theme, I couldn't help butt note the rhyme between Dog and Hog... and addition to the "Rhyme" pattern-cluster.  On googling "hog art" note the following site that crops up  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hogarth, and in particular note the picture at right re Hogarth and his pug... nott to be mistaken with "pig".  Note the following from the paintings wiki page:
In the portrait, Hogarth himself is in a painting as the pugis alongside him, making the dog "real" as opposed to the created person.[2]
Note this excerpt from Hogarth's wiki page:

Born

10 November 1697
Died26 October 1764 (aged 66)
October 26 is an addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster, as in one off from October 25, the date when 3 of my partners relatives were born (two coming from one family).   Note his twin age at death... 66 numbers that represent the TUSSH.
