Don't be fooled by the comical appearance of the movie, there are deeper themes behind the laughs: social criticism on several topics.
The main theme of the hidden social criticism is that the government officials are trying to make money anyway they can, such as by levying a hefty fine in addition to the license fee.
The second theme of the hidden social criticism is the problem of the interpersonal relationships: everyone concentrated on making money and people are distant and cold to each other, the relationship between the dogs and their owners are more endearing than friendship among people.
