Description:
A focused character study capturing alertness and instinct. The dog is not depicted mid-action, but at the edge of it—tense, aware, and ready. The background is kept minimal to keep attention on posture, expression, and presence.

Process / Notes:
Detail is concentrated in the face and upper body, with looser handling elsewhere. Color is used to define form rather than strictly replicate realism.
