Appearances

Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
~ Jean de La Fontaine

I wonder why we are drawn to certain things.  Certain expressions or things like stuffed animals.  I wonder if the first stuffed animals were actually taxidermy toys for the little ones.  But I digress...

My point is that the face of this little stuffed dog looks really cute.  It looks like the kind of creature a child might like to have near her when she goes to sleep or rides in the car or goes to the dentist or to grandma's house.  This face looks sweet and cuddly and attentive. 

Maybe too attentive.

This little dog face could be scary, too.  If it was rabid.  And chasing you.  Or if it talked and it's voice sounded like Elmira Gulch from The Wizard of Oz movie.
