If the reference doesn’t make sense, it is a parody of Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin, a Japanese anime centric around Nihon Ken being used as bear dogs. Since the TV series has become so immersely popular in Scandinavia, the comic fits.
In the anime, Gin is a silver brindled Akita, a descendent of Riki and Shiro: dogs who were slained by the great bear Akakabuto; and Gin sought to seek vegenance for his father and grandfather. In this context, the assumption is his family pursued the capercaille resurrection for generations, in which the bird constantly evading the dogs in a true grouse fashion, but never the dogs succeeded in in making it perch. At least this is one way of looking at the interpretation.

So, where’s the grouse?
Clue: Look at where the dog is positioned and how he is positioned. Neck angulation tells all.
