The claim a filter can imply
A before-and-after image can suggest that the edited picture is exactly what a dog sees. That is stronger than the general source summaries used here. We have not developed or validated an optical model, calibrated displays or measured an individual animal. Calling a colored overlay a scientific view would conceal those missing steps. The palette board is honestly labeled as human-screen illustration.

Source illustrations stay with their sources
AKC includes interpreted dog-view illustrations and identifies an image-processing tool. This website does not copy those images or treat their presence as permission to produce an unverified equivalent. Readers can follow the original link to inspect its presentation. Our separate design uses ordinary labeled color patches, with no claims about a scientific conversion.
No private photographs needed
There is no upload or camera access. That keeps the educational task focused and avoids collecting photographs that are unnecessary to explain the distinction. The tool’s colors are fixed local browser values. They are not sent for analysis, and reload resets the selection. Nothing about the appearance of the board assesses a dog or the room where a reader uses it.
