I like the blue in #28, see what else might look good other than brown
I also like that text look, but see how you may be able to incorporate a dog bone, paw print, dog house, etc into the lettering of the text.
examples being:
-paw print for "o"
-dog bone for "i"
-dog house for "o"
-or anything like that you may come up with
also not really feeling the look of the dog, but see if you come up with any other ways to incorporate a dog if possible
