the biggest pitfall is the LEGS. Dogs and humans have the same number of joints. Though your going for dog to human in the reverse scenario many writers fall into the "reversing knee" pitfall, that backward facing joint is NOT A KNEE, that's analogous to the ankle joint in the human leg, it's just canine shins are much shorter and they of course walk on their toes. The order is Hip, thigh, knee, shin, ankle, arches, ball of the foot, toes in humans and canines, length and specific shapes are different but the order is the same.
