What you’re looking at

This is a series of sketches depicting small dogs and puppies in various situations around what appears to be a tree or large object. The title—a play on the children's saying "finders keepers"—suggests a humorous narrative about possession and ownership. The drawings show dogs finding, pursuing, or claiming things, with the visual progression implying a story about the adage that whoever finds something gets to keep it. The sketches capture dogs in characteristic poses: playing, running, sniffing, and resting. Without additional context or publication date visible, the specific satirical target remains unclear, though the work appears to be lighthearted social commentary using animal behavior as a metaphor for human behavior around ownership and discovery.
