Dogs online exhibition

The zoology department at World Museum would like to find out more about this brindle dog, a mounted specimen from our collections.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that the dog was an active fundraiser in Liverpool during the Second World War. However we don't know very much about him (or her!) so would like to know if this is true.
The only clue to the dog's identity is a metal plate on its collar which is inscribed 'G. WILLIAMS, 43 SOHO STREET'.

Do you remember seeing the dog in Liverpool during the war? Do you know who G Williams is? Or could you identify what breed the dog is?
If you have the answers to any of these questions then we would like to hear from you. Please use this form to email Dr Clemency Fisher, curator of zoology at World Museum, if you have any further information about the brindle dog.
