Description
This wooden heart plaque says out loud what many of us quietly know about who really runs the house. Across its cream face, in clean black lettering, it reads I WORK HARD, with a fine rule and then the line so my dog can have a better life set in smaller italic beneath. Over the words sits a raised grey dog figure with long floppy ears and a textured, pebble-like surface, and two little black bones finish the design. It measures 11.6cm tall, 11.6cm wide and 4cm deep, a neat size for a busy shelf.
With a flat base and a solid 4cm depth, the plaque stands upright on its own, so there is no need for a nail or hook in the wall. We like it on a hallway shelf near the lead, on a mantelpiece, on a windowsill or on a desk at work, where it raises a smile on the long days the words describe. The plain back keeps it tidy from any angle. As a pet gift it is warm and gently funny, the kind of present that goes straight on the shelf once the wrapping comes off.
The heart is cut from wood and finished in a soft cream, with smooth, rounded edges. The dog figure stands proud of the front, giving the piece real depth and texture, while the lettering and bones are crisp and black against the pale ground. Care is simple: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp so the finish stays fresh. For gifting, tuck in a card signed by the dog in question, or wrap it with a new lead or a bag of treats for a present that is as much about the dog as the person opening it.
