To solve the problem of finding the ratio of your height to your dog's height in lowest terms, let's first convert both heights to the same unit (inches).

1. **Your height**:  
   You are 5 feet 4 inches tall.  
   Since 1 foot = 12 inches, we can convert your height:
   \[
   5 \, \text{feet} \times 12 \, \text{inches per foot} = 60 \, \text{inches}
   \]
   Adding the 4 inches gives:
   \[
   60 \, \text{inches} + 4 \, \text{inches} = 64 \, \text{inches}
   \]

2. **Your dog's height**:  
   Your dog is 2 feet tall, and 1 foot = 12 inches, so:
   \[
   2 \, \text{feet} \times 12 \, \text{inches per foot} = 24 \, \text{inches}
   \]

3. **Finding the ratio**:  
   The ratio of your height to your dog's height is:
   \[
   \frac{64 \, \text{inches}}{24 \, \text{inches}}
   \]
   Simplifying the ratio:
   \[
   \frac{64}{24} = \frac{8}{3}
   \]

So, the ratio of your height to your dog's height is **8:3**.
