A vertically oriented beige page features a small square of white paper secured to the upper left corner by four strips of yellowed tape. A black ink line drawing depicts a dachshund facing forward with long ears and dot eyes. Its elongated body and tail extend toward our right on four short legs. To the left, three vertical strokes suggest grass against the plain paper background.
