Why is this #dog so weird
A short haired tri colour border collie with blue eyes named Fives. He lies on a bkack sheet on a brown couch. He is reaching for his favoured bright red toy. The glimpse we have of his mouth appears to lead to another dimension. What is there? A better life? The crushed remains of expensive kibble? Who can say.
