Last time I wrote about kittens. This time let's give some recognition to man's best friend. I'm talking about the Puppy Love Series. Hallmark artist Anita Rogers modeled all of the Puppies in this series after the American Kennel Clubs top 20 most popular breeds.
This series was started in 1991 with a roly poly spaniel happily chewing on a candy cane. It is still going strong today. Here are just a few samples of this wonderful series.
The 1994 ornament pictured at the right end was modeled on Anita Roger's sister's dog. She spent an afternoon photographing the dog until she got just the right pose.
So here's to Man's Best Friend and a wonderful Hallmark ornament series.
