The sculpture portrays a dog in profile view, made from separate wooden pieces assembled together. The dark brown wood has a visible grain texture and varying hues. The stylized dog has exaggerated features such as a long tail, rounded head, and rectangular legs. The wooden components are not seamlessly joined, giving the sculpture a puzzle-like appearance.
