A close-up shot of a small, black poodle looking at the camera with its tongue slightly out. The dog's fur is curly and dense, giving it a fluffy appearance. Its eyes are dark and shiny. The dog is positioned near a brown, woven plastic stool or table with a wooden leg visible in the background. A glimpse of a pink and black slipper is seen in the upper right corner. The photo has a slightly rotated perspective.
