What's this? A simple AT pack for your dog inspired by the "Barking Dog" design by American artist Keith Haring
Is that all? Yep. How do I do it? > Make sure you have the latest version of Alternative Textures installed (this mod is a content pack for AT). > Install this mod. > Use the AT Scissors tool to retexture your animal. If you're unfamiliar with AT, check out their wiki for a helpful, in-depth guide. > Optionally, you can also use the Barking Dog sprite sheet with Adopt 'n' Skin or Cats and Dogs mods. Just rename the png with the proper AnS naming format for skins (probably something like "dog_#.png"). What is the Barking Dog?

The Barking Dog is one of Haring's most popular symbols. Check it out in Images. You can read more about it and Keith Haring below. They'll explain things better than I can!
Keith Haring’s dog motifs began to appear in his subway drawing series from 1980-1985. During this time, he would draw on matte black paper with white chalk, posting them over expired subway advertisements. Haring is known for wanting to create work that was accessible and enjoyable to as many as possible instead of the select few who could afford it, and his subway drawing paved the way for art accessibility. None of his works in his Subway Drawings are titled, ensuring that each person could create their own interpretation rather than having their view influenced subliminally by Haring’s intention.
Why is Barking Dog? I thought it would be fun to have a flatter, graffiti-style dog in the beautiful world of Stardew Valley. I tried my best. If it doesn't look _aesthetic_ at least your dog will stand out! xD (Actually, I think it looks pretty good!)
