    Pedro gazes at the window display with determination, his tail wagging. 'I will create great works with these new paintbrushes!' he thinks to himself.

    Pedro carries the bundle of brushes to the counter. The salesperson, taken aback by the sight of a dog shopping for art supplies, can't help but chuckle.

    Pedro's excitement fades. 'Oh no! I don't have enough money for the paintbrushes,' he realizes with a sigh.

    Pedro leaves the store, walking quietly in an alley, looking at the graffiti on the walls. He feels sad but determined to find a solution.

    Pedro looks at a discarded spray paint can and has a revelation. 'I know!' he exclaims, his tail wagging excitedly again.

    Pedro starts to paint with the spray can, his tail wagging to the rhythm of his creativity. The wall slowly transforms into a colorful masterpiece.

    Suddenly, a police officer appears. He is stern and unimpressed. 'Pedro, you're under arrest for graffiti without a permit,' he says, leading Pedro away.

    Pedro does not resist. He calmly walks with the officer, his tail still wagging. Even in detention, he seems proud of his artwork.
