Adding faces to dog show and remote control mode.

[JKWiniger]

Can this be swapped in to replace the faces used during the dog show? Most of that file is handling the face with only a few lines for the actual movements and the song that gets played.

I wanted to find a way to have the faces from the dog show start playing when we were in remote control mode instead of just showing the network connected screen. I was thinking if it started after maybe 10 second and could press a key so break out of it like with other things.

Absolutely, you can swap in different faces for the dog show. It'll require some adjustments and graphic work. This approach offers greater possibilities for customizing the dog's expressions.

I tried running, "pthyon3 eye-mouth-controller.py" I received this error:

In eye_mouth_controller.py I replaced ANTIALIAS with LANCZOS in 3 spots and the error are gone, but it didn't help universal-eyes-mouth.py

Fix coming in next days.
