The image features a motivational message written in a cursive font. The text reads, "BE THE PERSON YOUR DOG THINKS YOU ARE." The phrase is a play on the idea that dogs often perceive their owners as being more virtuous or heroic than they actually are. The message is meant to inspire the reader to strive to be a better person, as if their dog is watching and expecting them to live up to their dog's idealized version of them. The overall tone of the image is positive and encouraging.
