The "Barking Dog" is one of Keith Haring's most famous artworks. It typically depicts a simple dog figure with a big mouth open, barking loudly. The dog is drawn in a bold, graphic style using thick lines and bright colors.

This artwork can be seen as a commentary on society and human behavior. The barking dog may represent watchdogs or guards, symbolizing alertness and protection. It could also be a metaphor for human aggression, loudness, or the need to speak out. Additionally, the dog's simplicity and repetition in Haring's work can be associated with his Pop Art and graffiti influences, emphasizing the accessibility and immediacy of his art.
