The sculpture depicts a dog standing over a smaller dog-like animal that is lying on the ground. The dog is shown with a lean body, prominent ribs, and a pronounced spine, with its head lowered towards the ground and positioned close to the other animal. The sculpture is made from a dark material, likely bronze, with a patina that gives it a glossy, metallic finish. The dog wears a collar, and its tail is elegantly curved. The entire composition rests on a textured base, representing the ground. The dog appears to be sniffing or interacting with the animal below it.
