Original, charming early 920's postcard of working class man with cute toy or small Yorkshire terrier dog or puppy inside coat pocket outside a building possibly a pub. He wears a Maltese Cross on a watch fob chain, possibly a WW1 veteran or fireman. Possibly Yorkshire, England,
The man's pointed collar helps date this photograph to the early 1920's. Perhaps he is a WW1 veteran. He carries a short stick. The Yorkshire terrier is a small toy dog breed native to England. Originally a working-class family dog, bred by mill workers in Yorkshire in the mid-nineteenth century, they were used for hunting down rats. They became popular as a lap dog for royal households in the Victorian Era. In the 1970s they were the most popular breed in Britain. The trend continued until 1990 with a record of 25,665 Yorkies registered. Source: Yorkshire Post.
