Plate IV, Figure 3. The Dog
dog
 

The outline of the horse (in red) and the line that passes through the vertebras (purple) is traced again.
Because of the change in food, change the horse stomach outline into the "green line." The neck can be of different lengths because the dog eats while lying down or launches without needing to graze the muzzle on the ground.
Its paw, in order to be lighter, have to be skinnier.
The bone of the leg being longer, the "brown line" becomes much shorter than in the horse.
The tail must serve in the movement of jumping.
