Thank you, Dean. Can you educate me on the difference between the two Runge's dogs?

IMHO Scott, Robert P. Was a very good artist. His execution of head, tail, ears, feathers on the legs, tail, ears, neck were nearly perfect but his conception of a dog’s anatomy was severely lacking. Their backs are generally too short with the tail coming out of the back much too far forward. The positioning of the legs in comparison to the body is so wrong with the foreleg on the opposite side sticking out at an awkward angle at if it had been in a kids game of ‘pin the leg on the doggie’…
