Dogs Playing Tug-of-War

When I was a kid and had a Polaroid camera, I remember going to take pictures of my Lego sets when down the hall I noticed our two family dogs playing tug-of-war; our German Shepard versus our Miniature Poodle. Between them - a single shoelace. They were locked in battle of wills, neither moving. I decided to capture this epic battle with a picture. Suddenly they turned my direction - not moving but both looking right at me. I hurriedly snapped a second picture. They started moving and I snapped a third picture...right as our German Shepard (tail wagging the whole time) easily pulled the poodle all the way down the hall and past me. The poodle never let go of the string.

This model obviously pays tribute to that memory. The walls and ceiling all rotate to provide perspective. Since there's no string I could run between the dogs, I used forced perspective and a lever to mimic the look of the shoelace (which stood out in the actual picture). Behind them is my room and window.
