A bigger picture logic puzzle on a 15×15 grid. The numbers beside each row and above each column say how many squares in a row to shade, in order, with at least one gap between groups. Shade and dot your way across the grid and a pet picture appears. It can be finished by logic alone, with no guessing, and has only one answer.
