Description: To the left, a dog stands with its tail straight-up. The dog wears a collar, and a chain is hooked to it. The chain is hooked to a circular weight so the dog cannot run off. The dog is looking to the right-hand side of the image where a long-snouted wolf stands next to it, looking in the dog’s direction. The dog has short fur, while the wolf has long, furry hairs.
