The Dragon is the symbol of knowledge, wisdom, one of a most impressive mythological beeings.
In spite of all that...
Legend has it that Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia was founded by the Greek mythological hero Jason and his companions, the Argonauts, who had stolen the golden fleece from King Aetes and fled from him across the Black Sea and up the Danube, Sava and Ljubljanica rivers.

They stopped at a large lake in the marsh near the source of the Ljubljanica, where they disassembled their ship to be able to carry it to the Adriatic Sea, put it together again, and return to Greece. The lake where they made a stop was the dwelling place of a monster. Jason fought the monster, defeated it and killed it. The monster, now referred to as the Ljubljana Dragon, found its place atop the castle tower on the Ljubljana coat of arms.
I inverted a copy layer, overlayed both in darken mode, bas reliefed with the light cyan and white colours, and put the big 'dangerous' dragon an apple between it's teeth. The apple is from my fridge:)

I've post the unprocessed image in WS

It's like your dog is a cude puppy, but a 40kg heavy one:)
