The Patient Book Companion

A shaggy friendly dog sits patiently on the sidewalk outside Herrick North, holding the two handles of a library book tote gently in its mouth. Long floppy ears lift slightly in a breeze; eyes look warmly toward the entrance. A few broad blank book spines peek from the tote. Show the entire sitting dog, both front paws, curled tail and the tote resting safely on the ground between its paws. View from the dog's eye height so face and long ears dominate. Behind, keep the real canopy sign, stone base and large facade windows from the source photo recognizable, simply outlined and smaller than the dog. No human, giraffe or return-slot action.
