Comments on: The Dogs Of Old London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/03/20/the-dogs-of-old-london-o/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 22 Mar 2021 08:00:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: mlaiuppa https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/03/20/the-dogs-of-old-london-o/#comment-1371338 Mon, 22 Mar 2021 08:00:39 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=186110#comment-1371338 There is something so lovely about these photographs of dogs long gone as well as their owners.

The gentle looks of love and pride. Both from the dogs and from their caretakers.

Just, truly lovely to behold.

She looks very pretty and cheerful in her uniform. I wonder if the dog belonged to her employer?

Thank you!

GA, thanks for the great collection of dog portraits from the distant past. Agreed – that their owners “might otherwise withhold their feelings or retreat behind studio poses but, because of their relationships with their dogs, we can can recognise our common humanity more readily.”

I admit I am not really a “dog person,” but I am quite taken with my daughter’s new golden retriever pup, three months old. I just finished sending a great pic of “Bessie” to several friends. The pooch had just ascended a steep hill in Meredith, New Hampshire with the family. Overlooking beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee. I couldn’t resist.
