The sculpture depicts a dachshund-like dog with its mouth open. The sculpture is crafted from a material that resembles brown cast iron or a similar type of metal. The dog stands on four legs, with its elongated body stretched out and tail curving upward. From the viewpoint, the sculpture appears to have a rectangular indentation along its back. The details on the dog's face and legs are simple.
