In Zaki Biyem, Nigeria, an adult domestic dog, predominantly white with brown and black markings on its head and back, lies on its right side on bare earth. Its eyes are closed. Five puppies of varying light brown and tan coloration, some with white markings, are actively suckling from the mother's underside. One puppy's front paw rests on the mother's abdomen. In the background, to the left, is a section of blue netting or mesh material. Above the animals, wooden structural elements are visible, likely parts of a table or bench. A green plastic object, possibly a chair leg, is partially visible on the right side of the frame. Small debris, including twigs and pebbles, is scattered on the ground.
