A little about this puzzle

A student watches through the observation window while a groomer gently supports a calm dog's chest and brushes its back. All four paws stand on a non-slip mat on the grooming table. The dog wears no collar; the unused collar is in the top cart tray, with a spray bottle below. A folded towel rests in the rear cabinet, a feeding bowl sits on the inside floor, a canvas leash hangs from the table side, and a round bed occupies the dry rear floor.
