As Viridian has given us a choice and I write about them from time to time I decided to show stamps of dogs this week.
As they are descended from wolves I thought I would start with a Polish stamp.

| Poland |
Next stop is Manama with what looks like a Terrier.

| Bahrain |
I have a number of stamps from the time I spent in Norway including this one of a dog with a splendid name.
 |
| Lundehund or Norwegian Puffin Dog |
I had to show this series of stamps from the USA as it includes two breeds owned by my daughter.
 |
| Animal Rescue stamps - USA - adopt a shelter pet |
Sam and Maxie, Golden Labradors, were my daughter's first two dogs. Although they have gone to the great boneyard in the sky she now has Cody, Scout and Lily - three Golden Retrievers.
Also from USA I could not resist showing this:

| The Lady & The Tramp |

Finally my favourite set which I have shown before.

Know my friend would be fascinated by your post as she loves dogs.Like your favourite set best, too. Glad to see you included the wolf, reminds me I must write a sequel to my wolf book. :0)
One of my favourites of your Sunday Stamps themes. I don’t have a dog now but I used to have as a teenager, and I love them. Sadly they aren’t treated very well here by the locals (though there are exceptions) and there ate some very grim stories. Fortunately there are a couple of charities on the island working hard for our furry friends.
Dogs used to be my favorite pet. Now I have cats, so they are my favorite.
Like postcardy, I have converted to cats. :) But I do love these stamps. in particular, the USA set is very appealing, as I suppose it was designed to be.
You have given me an idea. I haven't had cats or dogs (or both) as a theme - so I will in the future. I am sure it will be no problem for you to repost these stamps. :-) thanks for participating.
This was great Bob! Quite possibly if there really is a thing as past lives, I love and relate to dogs so much, I may have been one in a "past life" ...and if I had a chance and a promise of a great master I'd be one again without a doubt! ha ha...but really dogs are man and woman's BEST friend for life!
Interesting stamps, Bob! I like the one from Poland :)

I am a cat person, but I still like to look at pictures of cute puppies!
I have also featured dog stamps on my blog today! Dogs are such good friends :)
Nice selection of loyal friends! :)
I'm not a stamp collector..but there are Malaysian stamps with local birds and wildflowers..just to share the info..
Yes,The Polish one is especially good!
I wonder if a postman felt safer with a dog-stamped letter when approaching a letterbox with barking behind the door?
