Borocyon, Amphicyon, ischyrocyon.

Beardogs weren't bears nor dogs, but relatives of both that were found across most of the world for nearly 40 million years. While some were lithe and agile like dogs, others amped up their bearness by being massive and stocky.

Yeah, I should be working on a dog portrait, but I cranked this out today. It’s a couple of relaxing bear dogs (daphaenus? borocyon?).  I am thinking about submitting this to Prehistoric Times.  I found out where they list the animals they are featuring in future issues and the deadline for bear dogs is the 10th.  I knew this and wasn’t really planning on it, but figured a caniform critter would be a good first try.
