I found a silhouette image, printed it out and glued it to a 2x6 scrap, cut it out on the bandsaw after breaking a jigsaw blade that was too small for the job, and then used a hand saw and chisel to separate the legs, narrow the face/tail, and add relief around the ears.

What you can't see is there's a hole drilled from mouth to butt. I drilled in from both ends, then cut the dog on half so I could drill the final connection (since the had to be a zig zag). Now nerds or large round sprinkles can go all the way through.

That's cool! If it were me, I'd have broken all be edges with a rasp or file, but that's just my preference
