Stray Dog Among Nighttime Street Refuse

A stray dog searches through scattered garbage bags outside a commercial building along a dimly lit avenue in central Mexico City. The mix of neon reflections and passing car lights contrasts with the quiet desolation of the sidewalk, where discarded plastic and refuse accumulate overnight. The photograph captures a moment emblematic of many dense urban centers—where stray animals navigate the edges of human infrastructure in search of survival.
