Welcome to Robert Harrop Doggie People

I have a fondness for these designs that has grown from my first glimpse years ago in England. We all think of and treat our dogs as human so here we get the chance to see them that way. A fantasy come true.
As Robert Harrop says:
It's anthropomorphic engineering; its what we do better than anyone else in the dog figurine world. The personification of the many and varied breeds of dog in the world is our business. We like to think that our research of the human subjects and our knowledge of the chosen breed of dog give us the magical 'double take'.
We endeavour with every project to cause whimsicalconfusion, so that our morph is a unique character: neither dog nor man, but a truly convincing member of the 'Doggie People' population.

A personification of Great Britain John Bull originated in 1712. He became widely known from cartoons by Sir John Tenniel published in the British humor magazine Punch. In those cartoons, he was portrayed as an honest, solid, farmer figure, often in a Union Jack waistcoat, and accompanied by a bulldog. He became so familiar that his name frequently appeared in books, plays, periodical titles, and as a brand name or trademark.Used frequently through World War II, since the 1950s John Bull has been seen less often. It is with pleasure that we welcome his return here.

Wise people learn when they can; fools learn when they must.
A quote from the Duke of Wellington remembered for his beating Napoleon at Waterloo.
He also said
We always have been, we are, and I hope that we always shall be detested in France.

This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.
Winston Churchill

A wonderful piece featuring a Bulldog as Queen Victoria and titled 'We are not Amused'
Refers to a comment she is said to have made.
The royal we (Pluralis Majestatis) is the first-person plural pronoun when used by an important personage to refer to himself or herself. Its best known usage is by a monarch such as a king or queen. So if something displeased the Queen or she did not find it funny she would have said 'We are not amused'
She was formidable but ruled a rather vast empire.
