A young golden retriever sits upright on a forest path holding a thin twig sideways in its mouth, very proud of the find. The coat is pale gold, the woods behind are soft green and brown blur, and the puppy is sharp and centered. It makes a warm, focused puzzle.
About this puzzle
The puppy sits square on a bed of dark pine needles and dirt, chest forward, holding a small branched stick across its jaws. Its fur is light cream on the chest and face and a little more golden on the ears and legs. The background is a smooth blur of shaded forest, so all the detail is on the dog and the twig.
Retrievers have an instinct to carry things in their mouths that goes back to their working roots, fetching shot birds for hunters. Puppies often practice this with sticks and toys long before any training starts.
How to play
Choose a piece count and drag pieces with a mouse or touchscreen. Correct pieces click and lock. No timer is running, and you can view the full image or shuffle the loose pieces whenever you want.
Tips for solving this one
Start with the stick, since its thin dark line crosses the bright chest and is easy to trace. Then build the face and the white chest. The blurred forest behind is all soft greens and browns, so sort those pieces by rough brightness and expect to place them by feel near the end.
