The best description of how the dog looks, based on the excerpt, is "hungry and harmless." The dog is described as "too small and thin" and is working on a substantial amount of food, which suggests it is hungry. Additionally, the dog's demeanor, with one ear up and the other in a permanent flop, evokes a sense of harmlessness.

Meanwhile, Sam tried to ignore his brother’s fuss. He glanced over at the dog working on what would have been a week's worth of breakfasts and felt nothing but pity. The dog looked too small and thin to be out alone in the northern wilds. As Sam stared at the dust-colored mutt, the dog noticed and gazed back at him, one ear up and the other ear in what seemed to be a permanent flop. Sam couldn't help but chuckle as he helped the grumbling Jake clean up.
