{"n": 1, "what": "inspected kit: contact sheets of archive-dog (50 f, masks), archive-door (32 f), and found shots cat, lion, tiger, hand, rabbit, sheep, horse, face, yoga, sandwich, sleeping-bag, umbrella, trumpet, broom, shovel, ladder, lantern", "saw": "dog f000-f019 faces left looking up at a coated person; f019-f038 turns away toward camera; f042-f048 walks right head low. No lying dog anywhere in the dog footage; lion lies but is not a dog (rejected: false history). Door footage is shot from inside; f022-f027 have the door ajar with a warm gap and no person.
