Dog Startled by Flying Bowl - Classic Illustration #1427253 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white ink sketch depicts a small, scruffy dog mid-leap, its body tensed and ears flattened as it reacts to a bowl suspended in mid-air. The scene is framed by a vertical doorpost and a floor with cross-hatched shading, suggesting motion and urgency. The expressive linework conveys both humor and narrative tension, reminiscent of 19th-century children’s book illustrations.
