A short-haired, predominantly black and tan dog stands outdoors in Birkova, Bulgaria

A short-haired, predominantly black and tan dog stands outdoors in Birkova, Bulgaria. The dog is approximately medium-sized, with tan markings on its muzzle, eyebrows, chest, and legs. Its right ear appears folded, while the left ear is erect. A dark collar is worn around its neck, to which a silver metal chain is attached, extending downwards and out of the lower-left frame. The dog faces slightly left, its head turned towards the camera. The ground consists of light brown dirt mixed with small pebbles and sparse patches of green grass, more concentrated in the upper half of the image. Strong sunlight from the right casts distinct shadows of the dog and the chain onto the ground. A blurry red object is partially visible in the bottom-left corner. No other individuals or structures are present.
