The body of this stein has been designed with man's best friend in mind. Raised-relief dog tags, leashes, bones, bowls and doghouses appear around the main subject panels. Incised dog paw prints help to frame these two main areas. The handle is in the shape of a raw hide chewbone. The pewter lid says "Faithful Friend" with a dog paw print and a features a variety of embossed dogs as the border decorations. The pewter thumblift is in the shape of a chew bone. Brown glaze accents the cream body. The left panel of this stein is a reproduction of Linda Picken's painting Caught in the Act in which a Dalmatian puppy is seen chewing on a fireman's boot while sitting on a fire engine. The right panel is entitled "The Dalmatians" in which an adult with several puppies is seen together with a fireman's helmet & boots in the background.
