I love collecting and I love dogs but I never thought of collecting old pictures of dogs. So glad you did. As a woman whose only dog was a Sealyham I was hoping to find one in the collection. I did, a girl with a Jack Russell and a Sealyham. My dog was the best dog but I suppose all of us who love our dogs think that we have the best. Wonderful photos, the love between humans and their dogs is very apparent, not a dog there I wouldn’t have stopped to visit with for a while.

Loved all the dog photos but as a Schipperke lover I am especially fond of the woman and her Schipperke. The look of love they are exchanging is priceless! Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection.

wonderful photos – and I have to say it, many of the purebreeds pictured look better to me than some today, and I am a past breeder of Border Terriers, who thankfully stay true to their original type.

Beautiful photographs. These, and your story reminded me that we used to train dogs to sit up and beg, and to shake hands – we don’t really do this now. Does anybody teach dogs ‘tricks’ anymore? It’s an interesting reflection on our relationships with animals, in different times, and how we see them in relation to ourselves.

What an interesting group of photographs. I collect old photos of people and their dogs as well, and have several albums full. It would be nice to share this collection on Pinterest and Facebook for others to see as well. We will be visiting London in April and I am going to look into a visit to the Bishopsgate Institute. Thank you.

“Our Billy and me”. As a first child my parents were obsessed with pictures of me. I refused to have one taken without the dog. Now, with four dogs, at age 70, they are very crowded photos.

My Daughter sent these photos to me from a friend in England, I think they are just adorable and they bring tears to my eyes looking at them , as you can see I’m a dog lover,I’d love them in a book form eventually, Regards BARBARA.
