Description: On the right side of the image, an ass is standing on its hind legs, its back curved. A wolf is attacking the ass, biting in its chest. The ass has its head bent backwards and its mouth slightly open in pain. To the left side of the image, a dog siting down, front legs spread out, looks at the ass and the wolf with a scared expression. In the background, a man is sleeping with his back against a tree. His hat covers his face, and he sleeps with his arms crossed.
