Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright on all four paws, correctly oriented and centered — Baron, an old shelter dog, a large mixed-breed hound roughly the size of a German shepherd. Short coat in warm sandy-brown fading to greying muzzle and grizzled eyebrows, one ear folded, the other upright. He is thin and gaunt at first: ribs faintly showing through loose skin, sunken flanks, a slightly bony spine and drooping tail, yet his amber-brown eyes are gentle, warm and tired, full of quiet hope. A frayed old rope collar hangs loose around his neck. He stands patiently, head slightly lowered, ears soft, one front paw forward. Behind him a plain concrete shelter kennel with wire fencing and a worn blanket, muted daylight, four dusty paws planted on cool grey floor.
