Strong rule: style --- 3D Pixar ---. In a kitchen with cool, blue morning light, Buddy stands beside a polished stainless steel bowl that is completely empty. He looks up with wide, worried eyes and a furrowed brow. The setting is clean but feels cold and lonely. Eye-level shot focusing on the dog's anxious facial expression.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Buddy: A lovable and highly expressive golden retriever mix with soft, honey-colored fur and deep, soulful brown eyes. He has a sturdy build and a thick, wagging tail that shows his excitement. His ears are floppy and move frequently to reflect his mood—perking up when curious or drooping slightly when seeking comfort. He wears a simple teal leather collar with a small silver tag. Buddy is often seen in a cozy home environment, lounging on a plush rug or sitting attentively near his owner. The art style is consistent 2D vector animation, focusing on exaggerated but relatable facial expressions that highlight his intelligence and deep emotional bond with his human.
