This unusual Franz Bergmann miniature features two dogs, probably pugs. One is taking the other for a walk. He holds the end of the leash in his mouth. Both dogs have collars, one red, one green. The dark dog looks a bit unhappy that he is under the "control" of the white dog. Very cute expressions!
