First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the SuperZoo National Show for Pet Retailers at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
About the Pets set: The USPS created 20 stamps to celebrate the many different animals we humans keep as companions. Each stamp pictures one species: puppies, betta fish, iguanas, hamsters, goldfish, kittens, rabbits, tortoises, guinea pigs, parrots, corn snakes, mice, hermit crabs, chinchillas, gerbils, geckos, cats, horses, parakeets, and dogs.
History the stamp represents: The American Kennel Club recognizes over 180 different breeds and varieties of dogs. Each breed is assigned to one of seven groups representing the characteristics and functions the canines were originally bred for: terrier, toy, working, sporting, non-sporting, hound, and herding. This broad range makes it easy to find the perfect breed for almost any family.
While there are many differences between breeds, there are also similarities. Dogs have an excellent sense of smell and can detect odors nearly 100 million times weaker than humans can. However, their vision is not as good, especially with inanimate objects. The exception is at night, when a special light-reflecting layer behind their eyes allows dogs to see much better than humans. All dogs release sweat through pads on their feet, cool their bodies by panting, and have a heart rate about 50 percent faster than humans.
The ideal environment for each dog usually depends on its breed and age. Dogs that are small or elderly can be quite content living in smaller spaces, while young dogs and sporting breeds need plenty of outdoor exercise. Other considerations when choosing a dog include allergies, grooming costs, ailments typical of certain breeds, and the amount of time available to devote to man’s “best friend.”
