With all of the needed work you have discussed, wouldn't it just be better to create a new dog character. I believe that the current MillDog is well past it's prime and is extremely dated, I have tried to use the dogs in renders, however they always look rather fake. I feel that spending the time fixing something that is at it's core is broken is wasted time. Just my thoughts. I would really like to see a new dog with expanded features and make use of a real bone structure.
