I think the 'dog' effect may be because of the ears being sewn forwards like flaps? Also, I've sewn in a little of the material used for his paws and inside of his ears as a nose. When I tried doing the traditional upside-down-T-shape mouth, it looked totally wrong. I almost gave up and remade the head, but decided to try a straight black line instead, which seems to have worked. He's very different to others I've made using the same pattern - it's amazing how a couple of small changes can make it look so canine!
He's up for sale at my Folksy shop. You can see him
here.
