It's A Dog's Life

January 2006 - January 2007

Singapore Philatelic Museum

RSPCA1990_Puppy 2006 is the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Fire Dog. Find out the special characteristics of this beloved animal and its compatibility with other "animals".

Discover the origins from ancient civilisation to modern day working dogs, and how the various breeds with their different characteristics evolved over time.

Do you know that dogs, like people, are either right-handed or left-handed; that is, they prefer either their right or left paws. And a dog called Laika, was the first dog sent into orbit around the earth in the Russian space ship Sputnik 2 in 1957.

If your dog is not sleeping in your bed, it is because he is sleeping in his own special design bed. And if man's best friend is too precious to walk, there are always designer dog totes. The mundane dog biscuit is a thing of the past. Modern day pooches enjoy a wide range of snacks, with flavours ranging from peanut butter to cheesecake.

So, come visit our exhibition as we reveal to you the fascinating world of the Dog.
