A cute, slightly 3D emoji-style digital illustration of a Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) from the neck up, with a focus on its face and upper neck. The dog has a black and gray speckled coat with short, dense fur. It has large, pointed ears that stand upright, with the inner part of the ears being a soft pinkish hue. The face is expressive, with warm brown eyes—one eye slightly lazy—giving it a friendly and curious look. The dog’s snout is medium-sized, with a black nose and subtle whisker markings. The expression is neutral but slightly inquisitive. The fur texture should be smooth and well-blended to maintain a polished emoji-style appearance. The illustration should have smooth shading, a rounded, polished look, and a slightly three-dimensional feel. No black spots on the fur. No background.emoji
