Cozy Christmas Aussie by the Tree

Photorealistic image of an adorable Australian Shepherd with a fluffy blue merle coat and white chest, sitting indoors beside a decorated Christmas tree. Warm fairy lights illuminate the scene; the tree is adorned with red, gold, and silver ornaments, candy canes, and sparkling tinsel. The dog gazes at the camera with a cute head tilt, wearing a red collar with a tiny bell. A cozy living room setting features a glowing fireplace, wooden floor, and wrapped presents nearby. Soft focus in the background highlights crisp fur textures and glossy ornament reflections, shot at eye level for an intimate, festive portrait.
