Description: A dog is inside of a manger. Its hind legs stay inside the box, while he rests his two front legs on the top of the box. The dog in the manger is on the left-hand side of the image. The dog is looking straight ahead of him, to the right, and is barking. A large ox is in front of the dog, seeming angry that it cannot access its food. Its large head is slightly turned in the direction of the dog, but not completely.
