the life of a greyhound

Post your picture and then include the following (do not include the bracketed information—this is from your assignment sheet—your essay should read like a short essay):

[What you think the picture is implying/arguing:] The dogs do not look relaxed, happy, or even healthy. They are caged by their muzzles and by the wire mesh surrounding them. These dogs do not look like they are living a good life, and human beings and their frivolous enjoyment are responsible. …

[How well the visual develops pathos appeal:] The viewer can see the animals caged and crowded. Their eyes pierce the viewer and make us see that no living creature should be trapped, uncomfortable, forced, or worse. …
