Dogs in Prison

An illustration shows a man, wearing a cap and a tan prison uniform, holding onto a leash as he walks his yellow Labrador retriever. A label is near the dog that reads "Lexi." In the background, one panel shows an image of a person smiling as they face a black puppy with the label that reads "Lee." Another panel shows a close-up image of a black puppy with the label "Annie."
