Heres a really fun dog design, four pups seen from directly overhead all bent down to the ground like theyve caught a scent. Tails up high behind em, heads buried, the whole pack in a row. Smallest is a spotted dalmatian style on the left, then two patchy hound types in tan and black, then a long cream coated lean dog on the right. Dog walker pack energy.
Each coat uses different directional stitching, the spotted dog gets short cross hatch fill, the patchy hounds use longer directional passes following the body curve, and the cream pup uses a fine satin sweep across the back. Slight grey shadow stripes underneath the bodies anchor the whole composition without grounding it too hard. 12 colours total but the swaps are organised by panel so the bobbin doesnt thrash, theyre arranged dog by dog.
I drew this last march for a customer in portland who runs a small dog walking business, she wanted a logo that showed the actual job, not just one cartoon poodle. People have been buying this for dog walker tote bags, vet clinic uniforms, multi pet household gifts and anyone who loves the absurd serious focus dogs bring to a sidewalk sniff break.
Stitch on cream cotton, oatmeal linen, charcoal canvas or denim for the strongest contrast across all four coats. Skip busy patterned fabric since theres alot of detail going on already, plain backing lets each dog read clear. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser for any larger size, around 44k stitches at the 7.5 inch version need firm support. Hoop tight, slow your machine down a touch when transitioning between dogs to keep the spacing crisp.
9 sizes from 3.5 inches up to 7.5 inches wide. All 8 formats included. The widest sits horizontal so its great for tote bag faces, jacket back panels and rectangular pillow cases.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Dog walker business tote bagThe largest size on a heavy cotton tote bag becomes the daily piece for a small dog walking business catching the eye on neighbourhood routes.
- Vet clinic uniform sleeve patchA small horizontal version on the upper sleeve of a vet clinic uniform tunic adds a quiet patch without crowding the chest area.
- Multi pet household pillowStitched on the front of a rectangular linen pillow case the medium size suits a multi pet household sofa accent piece nicely.
- Dog mum tshirt back printOn the back panel of a relaxed fit cotton tshirt the largest size reads as a bold dog mum statement at a glance from behind.
- Pet sitter polo logoUse the medium size on the chest of a navy or charcoal pet sitter polo as part of a small business uniform set up.
- Wide horizontal wall hoop artHooped at the widest size in a long oval frame this design becomes a horizontal wall hoop above a dog crate or feeding station.
- Doggy day care apronA medium size on the bib of a charcoal canvas doggy day care apron makes staff look uniformed without going corporate.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
