Using size "H" 5mm and "G" 4.25mm Hooks, WW size 4 yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver in Gold, White, and Black, and a needle for sewing/weaving in ends.

Jowls/Muzzle
Using "H" 5mm hook
Row 1. Ch 12, 3dc in 3rd ch from hook, hdc in next, sc in next 6, hdc in next, 4 dc in last st. Turn so that the unworked side of the muzzle is facing up, sl st across the next 8 sts, fo leaving tail long enough to sew to base/body.
Ears:
Make 2
Using "G" 4.25mm hook
Row 1. Ch 4, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2, ch 1 turn. (3)
Row 2. Sc in each st across ch 1 turn. (3)
Rows 3 - 5. repeat row 2. (3)

You can stop with the ear now, or continue around with edging, I sc evenly around the ear, doing 2 sc in the top corners of the ear. I got 14sc's on each ear. It should look like an egg when you are finished. Make sure you leave a tail long enough for sewing to the base/body.
Now's the fun part! Take all your facial pieces and sew them to the base/body, using the finished picture, as a guide.
