#56 & #57 - two more variations, still with the bulldog though. I've changed the cigarette to a bone - I was thinking along the lines of how people use a pen or something like that instead of a cigarette when they are trying to give up because they are used to having something in their mouth. I'll try a different dog - it's difficult to make a bulldog look happy.
I understand your thinking, but my reviewers have same concerns about the intimidation factor of the bulldog. It needs to be an animated generic dog. Also, we are steering away from anything in the mouth, because it suggest a cigarette.
#160 - an alternative dog. I did look at doing a version of this with the dog on its front but I've run out of time to do it. I think the dog on it's back looks cuter anyway.
