A kennel with a pitched roof, an arched door and a bone shaped plaque above it, and nobody home. The empty doorway is the invitation: a child can leave it dark, or draw their own dog looking out of it, which turns a colouring page into a drawing exercise without anyone announcing it. The plaque is the right size for a name. A dog to put in it: the fluffy dog.
An empty kennel with a bone plaque over the door.
