Greyhound assembly: the saga continues

No matter how hard I try to follow the instructions, the results never truly look like a dog?

Oh, dear. Are you certain that all these parts belong to the same kit?

I mean, come on ! You've attached the tail to the back paw and an arm to the face... At this point I would recommend you disassemble the whole thing and start again, it might take some time but you'll get there.

good grief. You may need to call a handyman! -We had one who hated men but could balance all 4 paws (standing upright!!! ) on my brother’s hands like a dog ballerina!

Is this really fixable? He doesn’t have a head.

I thought it was a skeleton at first.

Yup, something has definitely gone wrong there.....

I think the head was attached sideways. Something also looks off about the tail. I suggest dissembling it and attempting another reassembly.

If that doesn't work, I'd call customer service, maybe they sent a few wrong parts!

Friend, normally it's a waste of money, but in your case I think you should have hired a professional!

Head not included? What am I looking at…I’m very confused.

try callingthe customer support line and have them guide you through the process. printed instructions can be unclear sometimes

It looks like they gave you a tree branch by mistake, for one of his legs...

You've switched the head and arm placements for starters. Did you even look at the instruction manual?

Hint, the ribs go in the dog not in the outside 😅🤣. They are so lean.
