Puzzle Description:

My five year old son was able to tell that this was a dog.

Well, what do you expect from an 8x8 puzzle.

Yes! it is a poodle

It is a french... but in India they "bar, bar"

ha

I think that your son is very talented, and that is a very cute dog.

I'm impressed that you could make something with a uzzle so small.

This is reminiscent of character graphics on the C64 or other 8 bit machines...

A President's Buddy...Fala perhaps? lol

I was referring to Bill Clinton's dog, Buddy. Though Buddy was a lab. I think Fala was a terrier and probably looked more like this picture.

I thought he looked more like a Doberman pincher!

what are you guys talking about? It's a diagonal fish. :)

LOL

Hmmm. I'm trying Bionerd. I'm trying.

Hmm...looking back at the puzzle, it doesn't look as terrierish as I thought. (When the OED adds "terrierish" to the 2043 edition, it will reference this post.) It doesn't look the least bit fishy to me though. I think Nieboo has been looking at too many fishies.

I look forward to that edition Jan.

Nieboo, is the dog's head like the tail of the fish?

Nieboo will see fish in every puzzle..bless her heart!

The front two legs are the tail, the head is the dorsal fin (fin on top), the back two legs are the anal fin (fin on bottom), and the tail is the head of the fish.
It's there....it looks sickly, but it is a fish. :)
Speaking of fish, off to the aquarium i go.

Hey Merka! Nice to see you again!

You know Naneki, you just reminded me of the movie "The Incredible Mr. Limpet"

The story line (as I remember from the last time I watched it) is that this guy played by Don Knotts loves his fish. One day he falls into the ocean and turns into a fish.

I'm not sure how your sentaance reminded me of that. :/

too funny :)

Hey Gypso! Nice to be seen :)

I see the dog. WOOF WOOF!

Very cute for such a small puzzle.

This was the 4th puzzle I solved (counting the demo - which is harder than it appears!) and I have to say having a column in which all the dots are "painted" sure helps!

wiii!!!!
it's the first one i solved1!!!!
wiiiii...

jajja

dog is diagonal fish
in some sort of way

Jan, would you honor us with a puzzle for this week's WC?

This puzzle really tripped me up at times. Quite tricky. I didn't think of using smile logic, so I wish that I had read the hints before solving. Adam's hint could have saved me some brainsweat. :-)

High marks for this one.

cute Jan, didn't know you guys have been doing this since 2005

The first puzzles are this site, including this one, are dated March 24, 2004, so I'm guessing that is the date the site came on line, not that anybody would have noticed it except for a few friends that I mentioned it too. The forum messages are mostly newer, since the forums, in their full form, weren't added until later.

i believe there's a logic error in the lower left of the puzzle.

What kind of logic error? It seems perfectly solvable to me.

I definitely see the dog. Nice.

Is it a yorkshire terrier?

cute. fun. :)

Sort of touched this popped up so soon after Bo Obama died. I don't know how randomized the front page PGNs are, but this is fortuitous at least.

We've had a few Presidential dogs since then. I was curious, so here's a wikipedia article:
