A man is walking along the side of a paved road while holding a small, light-brown dog, possibly by its neck or shoulders, lifting it slightly off the ground. The man is wearing a long-sleeved patterned shirt, dark pants, and dark shoes. He has a bag slung across his body. The dog appears to be resisting being held up. The road is bordered by a dirt shoulder. In the background, there are sparse trees and bushes on a hillside, and a truck can be seen driving in the distance. Another man in a white shirt and tan shorts walks by in the distance. The weather appears to be sunny, with a clear sky.
