A woman bends to pet a white dog on the shaded porch of a frame house, vines and foliage crowding the steps. In the lower right foreground, the back of a child's head and shoulders frames the scene. The card was postmarked at Frankford, WV, in July 1906 and received at Durbin, WV; the note, signed by Corinne and others, reports a fine time and mentions the dog.
