A young golden retriever lies with its chin almost on the ground, big dark eyes looking up. The coat is pale cream and gold, the grass and clover around it are cool green, and the low angle puts you right at the puppy’s level. It is a tender, quiet picture and a comfortable puzzle to settle into.
About this puzzle
The puppy is stretched out flat on a patch of grass and clover, one paw forward, ears soft against its head. Its fur runs from light cream on the face to warmer gold on the ears and back, and a small white daisy sits near its nose. The green ground fills the rest of the frame with leaves and tiny shadows.
Golden retrievers were developed in the Scottish Highlands in the 1800s as gun dogs bred to retrieve waterfowl on land and in water. Their soft mouth, meant to carry game without damage, is part of why they are so gentle with people.
How to play
Choose a difficulty by piece count, then drag pieces using a mouse or touchscreen. Matches click into place and lock. Nothing is timed. If you stall, open the reference image or shuffle the unplaced pieces.
Tips for solving this one
The dark eyes and nose are the clearest targets, so build the face first. Then work along the back and the forward paw, following the shift from cream to gold. The grass and clover are all similar greens, so sort those by the direction the blades lean and by where the little shadows fall.
