I think thats a pretty good draft for a puppy related logo.  Could you
re-invent that in the abstract minimal line stroke form? Ah whats the
word im looking for.. there is a style of japanese art that
encompasses exactly what i mean.

What would be really cool if we are going to end up using the puppy..
is to create sort of a set of mix and match puppy faces, puppy bodies
and props in svg.  So anyone who has a valid need to make a fedora
related graphic can put one together without a lot of tweaking. Just
drag and around pre-existing pieces to create a new related graphic.

One use for this type of thing, docs subgroup can use the mix and
match svg components to create emotive puppy graphics that are
obviously related to the base logo.
example:
The docs people want to make a new puppy based alert icon... they use
the exlamation point prop and use the puppy's "alert" face with ears
perked up and the puppy standing up body.
The docs people want to make a puppy based question icon.. they use a
question mark prop and use the puppy "confused" face with the sitting
down on its hauches body.

i think you could get away with 
faces: "happy"  "sad" "scared" "confused" "constipated" "asleep"
"alert/excited" "bad dog guilty" "angry"
bodies: "begging" "standing" "sitting on haunches" "laying down"
"rolled over belly exposed" "standing on back feet"
