A reddish-brown Shiba Inu dog, exhibiting white fur on its chest, belly, and lower legs, stands facing left in profile on a light-colored gravel surface. The dog wears a black collar adorned with multiple small star patterns, from which a thin, dark leash extends upwards out of frame. Its mouth is slightly open, and its ears are erect. The tail is tightly curled over its back. Bright sunlight illuminates the scene, casting distinct shadows, including a prominent dark shadow diagonally across the lower left foreground. The environment consists solely of varied sizes of light-colored gravel stones. This scene takes place in Shirakawa, Japan.
