# Pet Portrait

Reads breed silhouette, coat pattern, specific markings, ear carriage, muzzle shape, and eye colour from the photo and redraws the animal in naive doodle style without genericising or anthropomorphising it. Supports pet alone or pet with owner in the same illustrated frame.

## When to use it

Use when the user wants an illustrated portrait of their pet — "my dog", "my cat", "draw my pet", "doodle my puppy", "me and my cat", "me with my dog", a pet name like "draw Luna" or "make Mochi a doodle". Handles pet alone or pet together with its owner in one frame. For a human-only portrait without an animal, use doodle-avatar instead. For sticker sheets of the user (not their pet), use sticker-pack.

## How to run it

- Open [Doodle AI](https://doodleai.art/) and attach a photo.
- Ask for it by name — "Pet Portrait" — or let the agent pick it from your request.
- Refine in plain language afterwards: "thicker outline", "warmer paper".
