Minutes later, the baby crawled into the dog’s gullet, never to be seen again. It seems a strange scene to immortalize on a commemorative plate. Who'd want it on their wall? Not many, judging from the fact I found it in a charity shop. I bet the original owner couldn’t wait to get rid of it. How did the artist manage to convince his subjects to sit still for long enough to paint them? It’s a nightmare scenario. No sooner would the baby settle than the dog would move and vice versa. They must have got through a lot of plates. Imagine the length of the walk the dog went on to provoke an extended yawn. Think of the lockjaw. Did he have tetanus? Maybe the kid was a canine dentist. Perhaps the dog crawled down the baby’s gullet. I could be over-thinking it.
