Dog pulling on the leash, throwing the human off balance

I like this image. Was very difficult for me to get started. Very slow-solving, but then it flowed nicely for the last half.

What a fun puzzle! At first I thought it would be vehicles. Then I saw the head and thought it would be a water skier, and could see the pattern for the diagonal line. But I got stuck and had trouble figuring out where to apply edge logic. Once I got going, it was quite enjoyable. Great image.

I like how the pooch has his nose out there sniffing, butt up in the air, tail a-wagging and ears a flopping, trotting along seeking out all those interesting smells. It brings back memories of my last dog - that's how she would take me for a walk. :-)

Teresa, thanks for the kind words! I was also trying to make the dog look like he was really pulling--otherwise his stumbling human would have made no sense! Not sure what breed he is--I think he's a mutt that looks good on a grid. ;)

Quite fun and looks just like my and my pal. Great job on the dog!

Awesome picture. I expected cars, too, but once the man was in full shape, I knew he was being towed by a dog.

I was thinking like Teresa, a water skier. As others have mentioned, this reminds me of our last dog, a bull mastiff. She knew very well how to tow a human, and also how to put on the brakes and NOT be towed, lol.

When my wife's sister was little, she would take their pet husky for a walk. Sometimes the husky would be attracted by something and off to the races. My late father-in-law described it as the dog running with the girl flying horizontally behind it.
