This meme features a black and white pit bull sitting calmly on a wooden floor in front of an interior door that has a large, jagged hole broken through its lower half. Debris from the broken door is scattered across the floor around the dog. Through the hole in the door, a bed with a striped blanket and white bedding is visible in the adjacent room. The dog has a neutral, slightly downcast expression, appearing unphased by the destruction it caused.
