> Dogs have become more than just best friends — they've also become our 
> coworkers. From guide dogs to therapy dogs to search and rescue dogs, these 
> stamps from the U.S. Postal Service® honor the enduring partnership between 
> dogs and people. This set of four Dogs at Work stamps depicts four 
> hard-working canines: a guide dog assisting a woman who is blind, a tracking 
> dog on the trail of a scent, a therapy dog visiting an elderly woman in her 
> home, and a search and rescue dog standing in a field, ready to tackle the 
> next assignment.For thousands of years, dogs and humans have shared a 
> special bond. While the earliest dogs helped human hunters bring home prey, 
> today's pooches excel at a variety of jobs. Currently, some 10,000 guide 
> dogs in the U.S. and Canada serve as an extra set of eyes for people who are 
> blind. Therapy dogs, chosen for their friendly dispositions, bring comfort 
> and joy to the elderly and the ill. Dogs that work with police and military 
> personnel are trained to detect drugs, guns, and explosives. Search and 
> rescue dogs speed up search efforts, increasing the odds of survival for 
> disaster victims.Artist John M. Thompson created original paintings for the 
> stamps, which were designed by art director Howard E. Paine. The Dogs At 
> Work stamps are being issued at a 65-cent denomination, which is the price 
> for single-piece retail First-Class Mail weighing more than one ounce and up 
> to and including two ounces.Made in the USA.Issue Date: January 20,
