I will keep that in mind. Thanks for your input.

Like this:

I am not sure how this would work, the outcome is what I was looking to achieve but the process of the multiple layers eludes me. I did a layer for the dog and one for the bone, adjusted transparency to see what needed to be removed to get the bone to look as it was being held by the dog which to my newbie way of thinking seemed logical. How does the muzzle and part head work into this? I will need to generate more like this from various perspectives so I will tinker and see what comes of it. Thank you. PS...Is this method or illusion known by a specific name one can look up?
