so it's a photo of the backs of a human and a dog looking out onto a view from like a hiking trail or something, the man has multiple thought bubbles above his head full of steely dan albums, the dog has one thought bubble and it's the cover of Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted and the text below says "This is why the dog is happier"
