Dickens Dog - First Edition

$325.00

Condition: Excellent | Vintage & Rare

Faithful, calm, and full of quiet character — the Dickens Dog is a reminder that even the smallest companions have a place in the world of Simpich storytelling.

While Robert and Jan Simpich were creating their beloved Dickens Caroler Collection, they couldn’t possibly leave out man’s best friend. This early edition captures a gentle, shaggy pup sitting attentively on a wooden base, as though listening to the songs of Christmas drifting through a lamplit street.

The sculpted fur, rich bronze-brown tones, and lifelike posture reflect Robert Simpich’s eye for texture and expression — subtle details that make this little dog feel alive. Whether imagined beside Tiny Tim or curled by the hearth, the Dickens Dog perfectly complements any caroler display and brings a touch of warmth to every holiday scene.

Dogs have always been part of the Simpich Family’s life and legacy, and this figure stands as a quiet tribute to that enduring affection. A rare early companion piece, the Dickens Dog remains a timeless symbol of loyalty, peace, and the simple joy of Christmas Eve.
