Cut a fourth off of one loaf of dough; shape into a pear to form head. For body, flatten remaining portion into a 7-inch x 6-inch oval; place on a greased (Pam sprayed) baking sheet. Place head above body. Make narrow cuts, about ¾ inch deep, on each side of head for whiskers. Cut second loaf into four equal portions. For ears, shape two portions into 16-inch ropes; fold ropes in half. Arrange ears with open ends touching head. Cut a third portion of dough in half; shape each into a 3-½ inch oval for back paws. Position on each side of body. Divide the fourth portion of dough into three pieces. Shape two pieces into 2-½ inch balls for front paws; shape the remaining piece into two 1-inch balls for cheeks and one ½-inch ball for nose. Place paws on each side of body; cut two 1-inch slits for toes. Place cheeks and nose on face. Add raisins for eyes and almonds for teeth. Brush dough with egg. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Place bread on a lettuce-lined 16 x 13 inch tray. Cut a 5-inch x 4-inch oval in center of body. Hollow out bread, leaving a ½ inch shell (discard removed bread or save for another use). Line with lettuce and fill with dip.
