Birthday Puppy with a Gift Coloring Page

About this page

A puppy sits at the left with its mouth open and its tongue out, looking cheerful, while a wrapped gift sits next to it at the right. The puppy has two floppy ears that hang down on both sides of its head, a tuft of fur on top, big shiny eyes and a round nose. A collar circles its neck with a small round tag in front, and a short tail curls up behind. Its front paws show little toe lines. The present beside it is a boxy gift with a ribbon crossing the front, a two-loop bow on top and round dots scattered over its sides. The rest of the page is blank. The two main shapes are easy to tell apart, so this is a friendly page for young children who love dogs and parties.
