This is a dyed dog. Someone painted black spots, stripes on the legs and tail, and what look like drawn-on eyebrows onto this dog to make it look like a hyena. Sitting on a red plastic chair against a cracked concrete wall like it owns the place.
This is someone turning their dog into a completely different animal. The eyebrows are the detail that kills me. Somebody sat down and gave their dog a facial expression.
The chair says everything, too. That’s the most Vietnamese chair in the country. Every sidewalk cafe, every street corner, every alley has those red and blue plastic stackable chairs. And this dog is sitting on one like a customer waiting for a ca phe sua da.
