The picture shows a poor dog lying on the ground. There are words like "stupid", "dumb dog" and "shut up" placed around him in the picture.
In my opinion, there must have been a cruel person to 'shoot' words like that at the dog, thinking that the dog will not understand the words. The author made this picture to make the audience feel so sorry for the dog who is helpless and apparently surrendered to his fate to be criticised for something he could have done.
He could have been looked down on or picked on by other people and has no self confidence to fight back. How would you feel if people consistently picked on you and called you names every day? I'm sure that you will feel miserable and helpless. The background colours are black and red to cause a feeling of pity and cruelty towards the dog.
I think that the bullying will create physical and emotional trauma on the dog. The camera angle is placed such that the dog is not seen and to create suspense to how the dog's facial expression is like. The picture tells us that all animals have feelings and we should not disregard how they feel even though if we do not know if they Do or DO not understand what we are saying to them..
