On International Pet Day we've found dog images from our archive that show how much our pets mean to us.
W. W. Winter has photographed pets great and small—contact the company to immortalise your pet in a portrait.

A cornucopia of toys in this wonderful shop window. Dolls, fuzzy-felt & John Bull printing sets seem to be the order of the day.
