I made this dog for a friend (in trade) a little while ago but never posted pictures. I hesitated a bit because this toy was to look like a beloved pet and while I was happy to do it for my friend, it's not something I think I want to do again. It's too much pressure to get it just right. I think Ginger turned out well and it was a fun challenge (once I got over my fear of failure and just went for it) but I will probably not be taking any orders for custom pet-inspired work.
