I remember attacking a dog more than once. ;-)

To me the stance, ears and tail look as if it is ready for fun. Bark and 
run away. The mouth is the real give away. It the dog was aggressive the 
lips would be curled back to show upper and lower teeth, which btw are 
really clean.
If the dog thought that you were a challenge then the ears would be 
cocked forward paying full attention to what was in front of it.
This is a dog wanting a stick thrown for it. :-D

LOL.

I mostly ignore them. I have had many an occasion for work to come into 
farm yards, and the trick was to totally ignore the barking creatures 
until the farmer would come out to inspect the visitor :-)

Phew...! That's a relieve! I was worried about it attacking the POV 
community ;-)

The tail too should tell something I think. Wagging tail against lowered 
one.

Hi(gh)!

Impressive scene! Is it also located inside the city of Gancaloon?

See you in Khyberspace!

Thanks! No, this is a totally different world from Gancaloon. Here we 
are in the mythic, universe of Conan and friends, with a touch of the 
one of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.

The right thing to do. Do not invade it's territory until invited.

I don't think that is a worry. Not with Ver. 3.7. ;-)

Umm, could I offer you some better tracks :-)
Something by Arcade Fire perhaps?
