Our dog when we first got him 2022. Rescued from Mexico through a rescue agency. He's a bit of a velcro dog, and uneasy with strangers. Gets the zoomies around the yard sometimes. Very loving at home.

Tricky and fun puzzle. Can be done with math I later found out, but I had to use abductive reasoning (the simplest and most likely conclusion from a set of observations). It is not exactly drawn to scale so that is confusing. It is one of those things you sense it can be done, but not how.

A political pattern in the US seems to be emerging. The US is flirting with a loss of Democracy. Doing so in favor of Demagogy and Oligarchy. It seems ferocity and FUD win over reason and common sense.
