This dog has suprisingly long neck. Thats really the whole joke. The head is huge and floats up there at the top, massive round eyes circled in yellow-green, floppy black ears, little nose and a kinda goofy grin. Then the neck just stretches way down below, like somebody grabbed the head and pulled. Near the tiny paws at the bottom theres a pair of small black hearts, which honestly makes the whole thing even funnier somehow.
Its drawn in that loose sketchy hand style where the outlines are not quite perfectly closed and the fills are light and rough rather than solid. 4 colours total. Black outlines do most of the work, light grey fills the body and neck, yellow-green makes those eyes unmissable, white sits in the eye highlights. At 29k stitches at the 7.5 run biggest size it runs at medium density, not too heavy at all.
I drew this one after people kept asking me for a funny dog design that wasnt just a silhouette. So I went full weird with it. A customer last week sent me a photo of it on a grey sweatshirt and it looked genuinely good, the absurdity reads really well on fabric. People get it immediately. The long neck just gets em.
Stitch on a white, cream or light grey tee for the cleanest read. Pop the 5-in build on a sweatshirt chest or the 3.5 size on a bag pocket. Avoid dark colours here because the light grey fill on the neck area disappears. Pair cutaway with film top woven cotton and a cutaway on jersey, the sketchy outlines can drag if the fabric moves. Text me if there's any issue with the stitch file and Ill get it sorted fast.

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.
