My object casts shadows but there is no shading on the object itself!

I have my dog object. I have a basic sun light. The dog casts a shadow on the ground but the dog object itself has no shading at all.

How do I correct this? Thanks!

It looks like the dog has an emissive material, if it does it will have no shading, can you show a screenshot of the shader nodes of you dog?

Thanks for the reply DNorman.

Yes you have the image plugged straight into the surface, that makes it emissive with a value of 1, you need to plug the output of your principled shader into the surface (of the material output node.) green dot to green dot.

Thank you, thank you…and thank you!

I must have been playing with Node Wrangler shortcuts and left it on Texture.
