A dog standing in profile with its head thrown right back, mouth wide open, tail high, and a burst of short strokes above the muzzle doing all the work of the sound. On paper, noise is drawn with a few short lines and nothing else, which children who have just been told to stop shouting appreciate in this dog drawing. The open mouth is the one place for a pink. The puppy with a balloon is better behaved.
