Description
This light grey wooden plaque carries a line every dog owner will recognise: a house is not a home without a dog (or two). The words run across its face in white, the first part in neat serif capitals and the closing "Dog (or two)" in a flowing handwritten script. On either side sit four dogs painted in a soft watercolour style: a golden retriever and a white and tan terrier on the left, a dachshund and a dalmatian on the right, each wearing a bandana or collar. The block is rectangular, 30cm long, 5cm high and 2.5cm deep.
Its 2.5cm depth lets it stand upright on its own along a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a windowsill, so it needs no wall space. It sits happily on a hall table by the door where the lead hangs, beside a framed picture of the family pet, or on a desk where the dog naps nearby. With four different breeds along the front, it suits a busy household of mixed dogs as much as a home with a single companion, and the cheeky "(or two)" will raise a smile from anyone who has ever said one dog was enough. We think it makes a lovely gift for anyone who shares their home, and their sofa, with a four-legged friend.
The plaque is made of wood, with the design on a smooth light grey face, and its depth gives it a steady footing on any flat surface. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and keep it indoors, away from damp and direct heat, as you would any wooden piece. For a simple display, stand it at eye level on a shelf beside the dog's lead and a favourite photograph, or wrap it with a bag of treats for a dog lover who deserves a little thank you.
