The ethnographic insight is afforded by a reading of the dog's breed and the identities of the people. Together, this image and commentary give insight into the complex dynamics of the Zone, which concentrate/play out on the body of the dog. With this documentary-style image, the ethnographer communicates the interplay of international and local values, the (toxic) history of the Zone, and the politics of inhabitation of the Zone. The sentiment is the discomfort and intrigue generated by the collision of worlds - of wild and domestic, of human and animal.

This artefact is created by the ethnographer. It is a documentary-style image; it gives the impression of being in a rush, of capturing a brief moment. There is vitality and anxiety in this image.
