A terracotta tile, unglazed, with a clear impression of a dog's paw print, complete with the claw marks.

Down in the galley of the Mary Rose, a tile with a dog's pawprint was found.

We believe this was an accident - the tiles were left out to dry and a dog got into the yard, stepping on at least one tile. Still, no reason to waste a perfectly good tile, so it was used!
