If you add a second hand (or get really flexible) you can give it eyes that move. It's 8am for me so no sharing, but my kids like that one. It's super creepy projected into the ceiling, too.

i have seen people use peertube to upload videos and put a link in the commets

an unlisted youtube video could be another option

I can see that. But if you could see me make the mouth move, the buck teeth really set it apart from a dog. πŸ˜‰

You can convert to gif and embed like a regular image, at least in the clients I have used (Boost on Android and .world on Firefox)
