I feel like I’ve gotten a new depth of insight into canine biology and motion.

I made a 2D animation of my wife’s family dog trotting across the screen once for a web project. I studied video of her until I got her gait and tail-wag just right. After she died, I’d tear up a bit if I re-watched it.
