Happy Childhood: Dogs and Puppies
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Perrette Samouiloff

With her special tenderness for depicting children and animals in cross stitch, Perrette Samouiloff captures the intense relationship between a child and a dog. Boys and girls are shown at play with their puppies, running along with their best friend or  holding their pet in their arms.

Dog breeds included in this design are the Saint Bernard dog, acompaning its master on a hike, a spaniel, a German shepherd, Yorkshire terriers playing with balls, a beagle, a poodle, a Jacques Russel terrier, a labrador holding a tree branch, a Bernese mountain dog almost as big as its master, a teckel skipping in tune with a little girl, and a cavalier King Charles with puppy.

The pattern, with its lovely details can be stitched as a whole, but you could also extract motifs to stitch on any items of your choice.
