Latest Special Stamps
We’re revealing the latest set of 10 Special Stamps featuring delightful images of some of the nation’s favourite dog breeds.
The stamps show a variety of breeds from Dalmatian to Labrador Retriever and more.
Coined ‘man’s best friend’, dogs have shared our lives for thousands of years – working, hunting, guarding and providing companionship. More people around the world own a dog than any other pet, and a third of households in the UK have one - so this edition is due to be pawsitively popular!.
We’ve worked with animal expert Tamsin Pickeral to bring this stamp issue to life. Tamsin is also author of The Dog: 5,000 Years Of The Dog in Art and The Spirit of the Dog.
‘British people are known for their love of animals, and especially dogs’, said David Gold, Director of External Affairs and Policy.
‘We hope that these beautiful stamps will bring added joy when they drop through people’s letterboxes on cards and letters – and remind our customers to place their cherished dog in another room when opening the door to collect mail from their postie!’
The stamps, and a range of collectible products, are from today (6 June) at www.royalmail.com/dogs and by telephone on 03457 641 641. A Presentation Pack including all 10 stamps is priced at £11.90.
