On a weird hunch yesterday, I googled "dogs of Paraguay." And found the best stamps I've ever seen.

Things got weirder in 1982, with this shared incubation space -- of a collie and a Boy Scout?

This collie, meanwhile, got preferential treatment. (Though seems a little lonely.)

The focused hunting dogs of 1975 clearly know the one job they have to do. But Dandy McGee on the horse seems well aware of the "camera."
