Public Domain Dogs at Christmas Dinner

 
Public Domain Dogs at Christmas Dinner

Yes, even the Dogs know it's a special time!
This wonderful little etching features
Four dogs waiting at a table for their Christmas Dinner.

Perhaps their "pet parent" is still cooking the meal.
The bull dog looks like it is resolved to wait patiently.
The pug seems more curious about the artist; or in this case the viewer.
The terrier and its friend are clearly looking at the food they are waiting on!
