Continuing from the last point, I went back to the tail, I extruded the last face I had created, as you can see.

I continue extruding then went into the side view and began adjusting the vertices

The image below shows this

Until I got this

Here is what the model looks like so far

After I decided to work on the paws

By extruding the faces downwards

I began shaping the paws

However at this point the model started to go wrong

Because of this I decided to redo them by deleting the new faces and filling the holes on the mesh

After I selected the faces

I then extruded the new faces

I began to match them to the image

As this images shows

Then began to repeat the process of extrusion 

While then going into the front view and began to match then up

After I extruded the face downwards

Extruding the face again

And repeating this

I went back into the front view matching the extruding mesh

After I match the vertices to the images

Then I went into the normal mesh and selected the faces

I extruded it downward in the front view, after I move the vertices into the shape of the paw

I then went back to the front paws and extruded the edge

Going into the front view, I moved the new edge downwards

I then began to match the vertices up to the image

Then went back to the normal view then again extruded the edge

Then repeat the same method by bringing the new edge downwards

I then finish matching the vertices

I then went on to do the eyes by selecting one of the top faces

After I extruded the edge and scale it down. I also did the same process with the other eye. When completing this, I pull the faces out

The element which the mesh needs is the ears, the image I used was a breed of dog called a beagle, which has long floppy ears, which would need to be rigged for realistic animation as they would move when the dog moves. In the next blog I will talk about doing the ears
