The image is a circular patch with a red background and a gold border. In the center of the patch, there is an embroidered design of a German Shepherd dog's head with its mouth open and tongue out. The dog's fur is a mix of brown and black, and its eyes are a piercing yellow. Above the dog's face, there are rays of light shining down on it, creating a sunburst effect. The words "Guardia di Confine IV" and "I struttore cani" are written in white text above the dog. The patch appears to be made of fabric or a similar material.
