🎨🐕 Q: When is an #ArtfulPup also a "good old dog"? A: When it's a pictured example for the letter "D" in an 1890 educational wall chart by Marcius Willson & N.A. Calkins, on view at the Library of Congress.

This gorgeous girl for #museumdog Day is Luna.
She's a 13/14 year old rescue from Romania who came to visit a couple of weeks ago.
If you look closely, you might notice that she's missing a leg but it certainly doesn't stop her enjoyment!

It's #museumdog day!
This is 7 year old Ebony who visited from Waterlooville to see the motorcycles on Monday.
She is almost the twin of Holsten, who's been visiting the office recently!

It's #MuseumDog day today!
This is a VID (Very Important Dog) who visited a few days ago.
We're not allowed to publish her name as she is training to become a Guide Dog but she did very well, with her first ever vintage bus ride. #guidedogs #museumdogs

Two dogs chasing chase a deer at the behest of someone riding a horse just out of the frame. Scene is on an 18th-century earthenware dish inscribed "Deers Chase."

🎨🐕It’s an age-old hunt scene with dogs chasing deer, but in this week’s #ArtfulPup feature, it plays out on a lead-glazed earthenware dish from the 1790s! Attributed to Pennsylvania-German potter David Spinner (1758-1811), the piece is at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

What a cutie (even if he appears to have a rather dark hobby - I'm guessing he hasn't seen many horror films). Do you work in a museum? Got a #MuseumDog? Please share pics (bonus points if they include items from your collection) #Dogs #Museums #MuseumSky

Rectangular, full-length portrait in a gold frame showing First Lady Grace Coolidge standing at right in a sleeveless red dress on the south lawn of the White House. Her proper left hand rests on the head of a large white collie dog named Rob Roy. He is seated in right profile at the left of the painting and gazes up at her.

🎨🐕 Find yourself an #ArtfulPup who gazes at you as lovingly as white collie Rob Roy does at First Lady Grace Coolidge. This portrait hangs in the China Room of the White House. Rob Roy joined the First Family in 1922, and rumor has it that he was named for a popular cocktail! #museumdog #dogsinart

Illuminated manuscript open to a spread. On the right is a page of text with red and black lettering in German. On the left is text but also an illustration of two cynocephali facing one another in conversation and dressed in human clothing.

🎨🐕 A 15th-century illuminated manuscript at the New York Public Library is the source for today's #ArtfulPup. This German translation relays the travels of a fictional knight and the mythical beings he encounters, like these “Cynocephali” – dogs with human characteristics!
