That is a very perky puffin, love how the artist has featured the feet. Glad you have kept the puffin safe from the dog with a line of text:)
I had received that fish, and I find the series very accurate. But the portrait of the puffin has impressed me!
ooh, I love that you found a puffin bird and a puffin dog!!
Never heard of a Norwegian Puffin Dog... never heard of the word puffin in any other context though except for the birds.
The puffin dog gets its name from it being used to find puffin nests and for hunting the birds.
A great selection of animal stamps, esp as there is one of my favourite birds :) Last year I managed to see some puffins from afar, I hope to do it more up close at some point...
