The dogs on both the postcard and plaque seem to be puppies of the same breed, or similar looking mutts. Puppies are known for chewing things and getting in trouble. When I was young, our family dog not only chewed a dishrag, but swallowed it!
The postcard was mailed in 1914. "I should worry" was a popular saying on postcards of that time--I have no idea why. The suggestion that the receiver should write was a popular theme on postcards.
The burnt wood pyrographic plaque is by Flemish Art and is 9-1/2" in diameter. It is embellished with metallic gold paint on the border, muzzle, and words. "XMAS '07" is burned on the back. (That is 1907, not 2007!)

Awww...this is so cute!!! Love the pup. Have a great VTT!
"All I did was growl a little" huh?? Poor puppy. Thanks for sharing!
Aw...these are both just darling. I kinda feel sorry for the little pup with the face mask! Poor fellow!
I love the pup on the card, but I feel bad for the little guy with the muzzle.
These are both adorable...I really love the plaque but feel for the doggy. thanks for sharing your VTT's
Poor little puppy! They're both too cute!
Poor (cute) puppies! Always in trouble.
The postcard is cute, the plaque bothered me....I guess I am an old softie when it comes to dogs....poor thing! Happy VTT!!!
The plaque bothered me a bit too - the poor pup in a muzzle. When you wrote "Xmas 07" I immediately thought of 2007! thanks for the clarification.
Awww, that poor little pup! All he did was growl. I'm sure he had no intention of chewing anything to bits! We had a dog who would chew our shoes when we were out, especially my Mom's!
Happy VTT!

Oh that poor pup on the plague...all he did was growl! :)
The postcard pup seems much happier...no punishment, yet!
What cute puppies! I love the post card. It is fun to have something that old!
He looks really hangdog, poor puppy all he did is growl a little.
What a sad little puppy!
