A small, tri-color dog, predominantly black with a white chest and tan markings on its face and legs, stands attentively on patchy grass and dirt. Its ears are upright, with the left ear slightly angled back. The dog is positioned in the lower-center of the frame, facing right from the viewer's perspective, with its gaze directed off-frame to the right. A bright yellow-green tennis ball rests on the ground directly in front of its front paws. Scattered dry sticks are visible on the ground around the dog. The background consists of a park-like environment with numerous bare deciduous trees under a clear, bright sky, suggesting a late winter or early spring day. Distant urban buildings are partially visible through the trees. The scene is located in a park within the city of Pleven, Bulgaria.
