Animation: Quadraped Exercise (First Pass)

…a change of pace.

Decided to try my hand at animating a dog cycle and tried to layer a little acting and cartoonyness on top of it. I’ve got a lot of the broad strokes in here but not much polish, and nearly no facial animation. Would love feedback on this sucker before I go and start dumping in a ton of keys!
