The end result is a pile of bone-shaped biscuits, golden-brown with flecks of oats and pumpkin, on a pristine, white porcelain dish. Next to the plate is a clean, new dog toy, suggesting they are ready to be shared with a beloved pet. The setup might be complemented by a dog-themed dish towel or a picture of a dog in the background for a thematic touch.
