This is very simple and attractive food carving....
All you need is:
2Fresh Yellow banana
1Tooth pick
coloured pen(to make eye,use black or any other colour, I have used green)

To make Head:Take one banana,cut 1/2 of banana(cut on the side where the black dot is there)open the skin till 1/2 in that(by making 4 equal part of skin) and take out the 1/2 banana carefully from that. Cut the skin of 2 side(opposite sides)and fold the other 2 sides like ear of the dog and draw eyes by using coloured pen...

Now the head is ready,,,,so finally keep the another banana in rain bow shape and prik the head on the top (as shown in picture).......The Dog is ready..very easy right? why are you waiting.....get set go..
