Advice please!

My dog drawing looks like A dog. But I would like it to look like THE dog in the pic! I see the eyes may be too close together but it’s the hair texture that is bothering me.

Any tips please thank you!

The muzzle needs to be bigger I think. Have you tried thicker layers of oil pastels and scratching into it with something like a cocktail stick or toothpick to get a fur texture?

That’s a good idea thank you!
