Sure, here's a Python script that retrieves a random dog image from the JSON API provided by https://random.dog/woof.json, downloads the image to your local machine, and serves it locally on an HTTP server using the Flask web framework.

Before running the script, you will need to install the requests and Flask modules using pip.

To run the script, save it in a file named random_dog.py, and then run python random_dog.py. The script will start a local HTTP server at http://localhost:5000/. When you visit this URL in your web browser, you should see a random dog image displayed.
