I've never been able to draw my own dog, not matter how many times I've tried - and believe me it's in the hundreds. Maybe because I know her so well, she passed away January last year - but I still know each little detail on her face, and can still feel her head in my hands when i think of her. Honestly I am proud that I managed it this well - there is still a ton of room for improvement, but I made it, but first ever proper image of her ^~^
