This is a photograph of a sequence capturing the motion of a running dog. The image is a series of black and white frames arranged in a grid format, documenting the gait and movement of the dog in detail. The dog is shown in profile in the top row, moving from left to right through each frame. In the bottom row, the dog is captured from the back, showing the movement of its legs and tail. The photographic sequences resemble early motion studies by Eadweard Muybridge, exploring locomotion.
