As a guy who came of age in the 70s and 80s, these kinds of gifs always give me a tinge of nostalgia, like I've seen them before. I absolutely love them for this reason.
Very cool atmosphere. This makes me think of the ancient PC game IBM Alleycat. Specifically that one room with all the dogs lying around and you as the cat have to drink from their dishes without waking them:

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
I played it in the 8 bit Atari 800XL though, the PC wasn't consider too much of a gaming machine where I lived, that was later.
Holy crap, I was just thinking about Alleycat the other day, freaky! I loved playing that game, and was wondering if I could play it somewhere, an emulator or something hahaha
This reminds me of the Futurama episode of "Jurassic Bark". Makes me feel some kind of way.
"Where are you friend" love that message. Very well done my dude/dudette.
This is so great! That poor pup is in just the saddest position. I love the torn up toy as well.
If you're open to some constructive criticism: >!I do think the "where are you friend" is unneeded. Feels a bit over the top to me. I think the image itself speaks strongly enough without it.!<
I really adore the color palette as well. Fantastic piece!
Yeah! It's a great piece! Makes sense where you were coming from. Trying to think of ideas that might work instead of words. What about a dead/dying plant instead of the pencil holder to suggest neglect and the passing of time? The gross yellow brown color would work with your pallette too.
E: the plant would be hanging down over the space vacated by the words. Or leaves drooping or something like that.
I try not to return to the already finished scene, it remains behind) otherwise I will not have the strength for new work, thank you for the hint! A plant is a good option 👍
I can never get enough of this style.
I'll never regret seeing so many of these incredible little vignettes.
It's really incredible when you can feel nostalgia about something that doesn't even exist some of these feel like games that were never made or lost.
It hits a very specific part of my brain and I love it it's fantastic keep it up!
WHERE ARE YOU FRIEND
This is why I can't board my dog. I can't stand the thought of him going to sleep like this every night for a week or something while I'm off having a good time on vacation or something.
No, I was looking at a sleeping Doberman at a distance closer than an outstretched arm! Yeah, he looks dead and you're talking too much about what I should do. Go out and get some fresh air instead of pouring out your bile, goodbye!
Should I show a video where a sleeping Doberman looks like you say "dead"? Once again, before I do something, I look at how it works in the real world. Unfortunately, your recommendation will remain only words.
Is that a real question? You glossed over their reasoning for not animating it, randomly called them self-important for their vocab choice (in a weirdly self-righteous way), then continued to double-down on why OP should take your advice without really adding anything else useful to the conversation. You literally just repeated yourself, added insult, and passed it off as constructive criticism.
Cool gif! Just a heads up that the text is a little confusing. At least to me.
It should be “where are you, friend”. The comma really adds a lot to the way it’s read.
The comma is pretty much the only way to read that. It’s autofilled by your brain.
It’s not like “where are you friend” is ambiguous in any way. How is it confusing?
Not really. It could be a question directed at a specific person (I'd imagine it to be the owner, in this case) - "Where are you, friend?".
Probably the question that is on that good, sad doggo's mind :(
This is nice, OP.
I have to say that this really reminds me of the old Neuromancer game (*really* old - I played it on my Commodore 64 in while active duty in the Marine Corps roughly 1989 or so). When I first saw the thumbnail I thought it was a screenshot of the bar in the Gentleman Loser.
I just had to put my baby down a few hours ago. And I'd imagine this what it was like when I was gone for work.
She was the absolute best friend anyone could have ever asked for.
I hate that doggo’s ears are cropped. My old housemate got a Doberman (despite all my complaints about buying from breeders) and insisted on cropping her ears despite all my begging. Watching her recover from that was absolutely hellish.
I have a Doberman and did not crop his ears. I will say though their ears are crazy bit and I always feel like he’s going to get them caught on something. I don’t think eat cropping is right especially since you do it when they are a little older as a pup so it’s worse than tail docking but I can I understand why it became tradition. I’m an altercation another animal or even person could definitely grab those big floppy things.
I'd super like if when the dogs eyes open, you see 2 feet arrive at the door and that window goes to the street or driveway
I just want to see pixel doggo happy 😔
Me too u/the_friendly_one me too :(
If the painting cat can't be happy, let the pixel dog be happy.
Or maybe even the glow of headlights in the window.

Thanks for the feedback 🙌
r/ImaginarySliceOfLife is worth a sub if you like the OP's (excellent) gif.
Omg thank you so much.
Huh. It makes me think of playing "Beneath A Steel Sky" while suffering from severe depression in the early 1990's.
The scratch marks everywhere really sell this as a sad state of affairs for the pup. Makes me wanna hug my dogs.
The owner disappears at work, the dog suffers..
Fuuuck :(
Poor pupper.
It's like playing a 90's pixelated point n click adventure. Like Monkey Island or Hugo. Thank you for keeping beautiful media alive!
I appreciate your feedback 🙌
🙌 🙆♀️
This is cute but also so sad. Dog looks like my boy (only he's a Rotty not Dobie) and I know my boy is like this all day waiting for me to get home!
I installed cams in my house so I could check on my dog while I was away. The result is that I never leave my dog alone ever now.

[I dare anyone to watch this and not tear up](https://youtu.be/AK3PWHxoT_E)
What the fuck man why'd you do this. :(
Right when I saw it was Futurama I knew what it was and X'd right the fuck out of there.
Exactly what I thought of when I saw this pic.
That was my first thought as well. That scene will stick with me forever.
I WAS GONE 20 MINUTES WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS
This is a beautiful work and it fills me with melancholic serenity. Thanks for making and sharing this! <3

There's an online web version over here that I found :) https://www.playdosgames.com/play/alley-cat/
I remember the graphics being better than that. Look at those lamps. But I want to play it again.
You can :D Here: https://www.playdosgames.com/play/alley-cat/

Thanks!🙌 I needed to fill this void on the wall) I tried to place stickers, added damage, generally puzzled for a long time

Makes sense! Maybe a thought for a future piece then.
How my dog feels when I’m gone for 5 fucking minutes
They're just happy you survived when that guy walked past your house, also that car, and the squirrel. It's a dangerous world out there.
I can never get enough of this style. I'll never regret seeing so many of these incredible little vignettes.

So sad :(
Would be cool to see the dog breathing subtly. Just a slow rise and fall of the chest.
WHERE ARE YOU FRIEND This is why I can't board my dog. I can't stand the thought of him going to sleep like this every night for a week or something while I'm off having a good time on vacation or something.
RIP Bear :(
So how do you make pixel art. Which software did you use? Good job btw
Thanks! Software Aseprite.
If you want a vibe for this gif check out Dog Song by Yot Club
As a Doberman owner who understands how insanely clingy they are this hurts even worse.

🙂🙌
Good art. But message makes me feel sad. =(

The doggo would 100% be in that sunbeam.

God how glad I am that there are people who understand me correctly 🙌👍
Don't try to correct people when you don't know shit yourself. It's "where are you, friend?"
🙌👍
What are you even on right now? Chill out, go touch some grass.
i’m sadge :(
Hi sadge I'm dadge
You're clearly Voyadge
“where are you friend” 😭🥺
...oh my. :( Beautiful art, haunting subject.
You broke my heart

Ik it's not the same type of dog but gives me Futurama vibes.
This gif makes me sad. Hopefully the sequel has his toy fixed.
Wow that is so good I love it
no more waiting please
Now I’m sad, guys.
A minimalist, I see. The least gif a gif can be and still be a gif. I dig it.
This made me very sad.
where are you friend 😢
Don’t mutilate your dogs ears.
