A friendly dog face with long floppy brown ears, a golden butterscotch head, a white blaze down the forehead and a white muzzle, a shiny black nose, a pink tongue and a red collar with a yellow tag. The face fits on one 29x29 board with a cocoa outline. A small 17x17 sitting puppy is included as a quick version, and two colour swaps help you match the pattern to your own dog.
Not yet test-fused. This is an original pattern designed on screen; it has not been ironed and photographed yet. Perler is the palette the pattern was drawn in. Hama and Artkal codes are automatic nearest-colour matches (CIEDE2000), not official conversions.

To copy your own dog, change only the head and ear colours first; most dogs are recognisable by those two alone.
The tag on the collar is a good place to thread a keyring or ribbon after ironing.
The grey bead on the nose is a highlight. Keep it, because a solid black nose looks flat once fused.
Make the ears a different colour from the head, or the face loses its shape; if your dog is one colour, use a shade darker for the ears.
The red collar sits below the chin and spans the full width of the face, so it also stiffens the bottom of the piece where the ears end.
