The first dog here with four legs on the ground, which is the step most children find hard: the far pair sit behind the near pair rather than beside them, and getting that overlap right is what stops the dog looking flat. Everything above the legs is simple curves. This dog drawing to print suits six and up. The puppy face has no legs at all.
A dog standing side on, tail up and mouth open.
