A small dog, maybe a yorkie, in a contraption supporting its body, with four leg holes, being worn on a strap by its person, like a purse

A Boston terrier asleep curled on his side on a purple blanket. His cute smushed-nose face is closest to the camera and the angle of the camera also lets us see his cute paws and some pink toebeans
