Rebecca Anne :

It’s their dog. It’s a Pictish deer hound, and it turns out we have always loved our dog so much that when we think of recreating our world in art, of course it includes them. The Scottish deer hound is a modern descendent. It’s not a spooky mystery, it’s not monsters or ancient aliens, it’s a beautiful love story of how millennia of humans have loved canines 💖

girloclock 🇨🇦🇵🇭 :

Ok but have we asked the whatismycookiecutter subreddit to figure this out for us?

C3P0 :

What if it was a domesticated extinct dog breed similar to a silken windhound? Thin build with a long snout fits. And the long “antlers” the swirly aspects of the legs could all be the windswept silky hair. This would also explain why, as “man’s best friend” it would be in 40% of the animal artwork since it would be with man during most of his outings and happenings.

The British Isles is a better descriptor than the Atlantic Archipelago as they aren't the only archipelago in the Atlantic.
