Research direction

Add the Dog API entry to shelf/apis.json using the details in the issue. Run pnpm run validate and npx tsx scripts/check-links.ts, then run pnpm run build to regenerate the README and web directory data. Done means the entry passes the data and link checks and the generated data is rebuilt.
