Two doggy dog stamps

On 3 September 2001 Aland honored man's best friend with two stamps. The breeds chosen as stamp motifs are two of the most popular dogs in Aland: wire-haired dachshund and golden retriever.

Dogs are very popular

There are between 2500 and 3000 dogs in Aland. Considering the population being about 26000 it is pretty clear that dogs are very popular in Aland.

Private photos

Both stamps are based on private photos, originally taken for other purposes. Looking at these stamps it is easy to see why the dog is man's best friend. These cute puppies are absolutely irresistible.
