The image depicts two sketches of dogs. The larger dog sits on the lower central part of the image, facing left. It has a long snout and floppy ears. The dog appears to have a long tail but no details are drawn. The dog on the right sits facing forward and appears to be shorter with a shorter snout and floppy ears. There are no background details. The sketches are drawn on white paper with a black border around the edge.
