A cute golden retriever puppy in a hoodie and backpack stands sadly by a glowing puddle.

A beautifully rendered ultrarealistic style image. A brief insert shot, focusing on Max, an adorable small golden retriever puppy, who has paused his bipedal walk beside a large, glowing puddle in the alleyway (consistent with previous scenes). The puddle vividly reflects the bright neon light of a flickering sign from overhead (the sign itself may be out of frame or subtly hinted at). Max is standing upright on his hind legs, perhaps with a slight, thoughtful tilt to his head, as he glances down into the puddle. His large, expressive Photo-realistic style eyes should be wide and clear, reflecting the neon light and conveying a sense of quiet contemplation or vulnerability. His small, upright figure is also reflected in the water. Gentle, artfully rendered raindrops are creating soft ripples in the puddle, slightly distorting the reflection. He is still wearing his well-loved gray hoodie and small canvas backpack. The lighting should be atmospheric, dominated by the neon glow from the puddle and the dim ambient light of the alley. Focus on the interplay of light and reflection, and Max's expressive reaction. Detailed character and environment rendering, high quality, vibrant, and emotionally resonant. See more
