The illustration features six dogs hanging out on a city block. The drawing has a cartoonish and playful feel to it. Stylistically, the illustration is coarse and does not have granular details. For example, the fur coat of the dogs are fairly homogeneous for each dog vs detailed furs, which was visible for the animals in Doorstep Raiders.

The core strategy was to break the puzzle up into smaller areas, because the illustration had large sections with distinct patterns. The initial sort focused on the border, green/orange awning, blue/green awning, red wall, burgundy wall with windows, blue wall with windows, large glass window for dog salon, rainbow sidewalk, the dogs, checkered curtains, gray road, and sky. We quickly assembled the border, green/orange awning, and the dog salon window. Subsequently, the rest of the areas quickly followed.

Difficulty:
