EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Dosing a Dog" takes us back in time to witness an intriguing scene. The image, part of the Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, showcases an amateur vet diligently attending to a sick dog. In this snapshot, we see a concerned individual holding a broken pill in their hand while pronouncing the symptoms of illness that have befallen the poor canine. With determination etched on their face, they are determined to nurse this animal back to health. The setting is reminiscent of old-world charm as the figure leans over a magnificent St Bernard dog. In an attempt to administer medicine, they employ both force and persuasion using what appears to be a walking stick or cane. It's fascinating how even in those times, medical care for animals was taken seriously. The dedication and love for animals shine through as this amateur vet cajoles the dog with gentle words and gestures. Despite its strange appearance, perhaps due to loose fur or other signs of illness, the loyal creature remains obedient throughout this trial. One can only imagine the relief that will wash over both human and canine once recovery is achieved. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people went above and beyond for their beloved pets' well-being – proving yet again that dogs truly are man's best friend.
