This web app presents canine planar anatomy via 900 x 600 pixel images of cadaver slabs, obtained by frozen cadaver bandsaw cuts. The head/neck, thorax & abdomen/pelvis are shown in three planes: sagittal [left to right], transverse caudal views [rostral/cranial to caudal], and dorsal [dorsal to ventral] views.

At the right, from top to bottom, see examples of a sagittal cadaver slab, a transverse slab, and a dorsal plane slab from three dog heads. (The brain is evident centrally in each image.)

A sagittal plane divides the cadaver into right & left parts. A transverse plane divides the cadaver into rostral/cranial & caudal parts. A dorsal plane is cut parallel to the back, dividing the cadaver into top (dorsal) & bottom (ventral) parts.
