Two small dogs are sitting down and staring straight at you. The one on the left is fluffy and is wearing a bandana around its neck. It’s sticking its tongue out and smiling. The dog on the right has its head cocked to the left, as though it’s curious about what you’re thinking. Both dogs have their ears perked straight up.
