Nervous excitement on the first day

A brown dachshund with large, sad eyes sits on a concrete porch next to a red plush toy shaped like a chili pepper with a smiling face. The dog wears a teal braided leash and looks directly at the camera with a dejected expression. A person's arm and torso in a blue shirt are visible on the right side of the frame. The background shows white siding and a green door.
