Photograph of a pilot posing with a dog in a cockpit, ca.1925. At center, a man is seen with a dog posing in the open cockpit of a biplane. The man is seen wearing a darkly-colored shirt, sweater, and a tie. He is also seen wearing a traditional pilot's cap with goggles on his forehead. Small straps are visible across the chest and midsection of the small, spotted pug in his lap. The man points with his hand off to the right. Both his gaze and the gaze of his dog look onward to the distance. In the background, several poles and wires are visible. In the immediate foreground, a banner on the plane with the word "Dedication" is visible.
