Character Walking Dog Scene

Using the provided reference image as the character base, regenerate the same character in a new outdoor scene while keeping their recognizable design, outfit, thick black outlines, and textured hand-painted/cartoon look. Change the pose to walking forward, with one hand holding a red leash, and add a small sweat-drop expression to show awkwardness or hesitation.

Add a cute Shiba Inu dog walking beside the character on the leash: orange fur, curled tail, red collar, happy open-mouth expression, thick black outline, matching painted texture.

Set the scene on a rocky riverbank path with a blue river running horizontally through the middle ground, scattered rocks, green bushes/trees along both sides, a bright blue sky, and exactly 1 large white cloud in the upper left. Add exactly 1 white thought bubble in the upper right connected by 2 small bubble dots, containing the Japanese text {argument name="thought bubble text" default="あつい…"} in black vertical lettering.

Style: make the whole image look like a bold children’s illustration painted with thick impasto acrylic or oil-paint texture, visible brush strokes, saturated colors, chunky black outlines, playful proportions, and a square-ish landscape composition. Avoid photorealism, gradients, thin line art, or extra text.
