I recently focused on transferware dog patterns. I suggested that many dog patterns are found on items intended for children. Here are a few that feature children and dogs. As you can see, I interspersed transferware patterns with photos of real children and dogs. Obviously, the relationship between children and dogs has not changed in the past nearly two hundred years!

| My Noble Dog 4.88 inch child's plate, ca. 1830 |

| Child riding a noble dog |

Faithful Fido 4.5 inch child's plate, ca. 1840
Faithful Fido! |
 |
| The Familiar Friend 7.25 inch child's plate, ca 1840 |
 |
| Familiar friends! |
 |
| Probably Minton (1793-1872) 7.5 inch teapot stand, ca. 1825/I would call this pattern Trusted Friend as the dog is trusting the girl with her puppies./This pattern, of course, is not on an item intended for children. |

| Trusted Friend/ The dog is making sure the child doesn't go too close to the ocean |
