Though she worked in numerous mediums-pencil, pen, ink, and oil-her pastels set her work apart. Noted for her commercial dog postcards and her delightful \"Tailwagger\" series, she also created a \"Puppies\" series of 40 cigarette cards during World War II-produced in a limited quantity due to wartime restrictions on paper-which have become a rare collector's item today. One of her most famous works is her portrait of \"Dookie,\" the British Royal Family's favorite Corgie, which was later reproduced as a Royal Family Christmas card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDawson also published several books, including the beloved \u003ci\u003eDogs As I See Them,\u003c\/i\u003e and its follow-up, \u003ci\u003eDogs Rough and Smooth\u003c\/i\u003e.
