A puppy drawing with nothing decided, no spots, no collar, no breed, so it can take the colors of the dog at home: brown ears, a black nose, a patch over one eye, and the printed page becomes a portrait of that dog rather than a dog. The shapes are wide enough for a thick marker, and the shadow under the paws is already filled in black. The puppy face is the head alone.
A young dog sitting square, tongue out, tail up.
