Is that a custom little window or do these come for spying on driver's feet or something?

They're built into the truck and my understanding of their purpose is to give the driver a visual of that area as it's right under their passenger mirror

When I had to move a rig around a yard I'd use it to help judge distance to a nearby wall, for example

Peeper windows, they help minimize blind spots.

Max is a good doggo, right up until his blocking the driver’s view of the street kills a pedestrian.

You know dogs tend to move if you call them.

Also, just because we can see the dog through the window doesn't mean the dog is obstructing it entirely. The driver would be looking down at that window from above, and at an angle. Entirely likely there's more than enough space to see through the gap between dog and window.
