Well now, based on the size and stock it could be a paper book cover. I wonder which book this one could be from.

The back and stock resemble the Quaker Oats card. Given that the book above has a Quaker Oats ad on the back and a matching pose photo, I wonder if this was from something Quaker Oats ad-related in Canada?
This photo had previously bugged me for years and I put it away for a while only to have it bug me again now. I just would love to know where the heck it came from - book cover, ad, poster, premium... Last edited by 1treasuretrove; 01-05-2018 at 09:19 AM.

Hey Treasure, can you post a larger version of that picture? I (along with everyone else viewing this thread, I'm sure) really want to figure out what in heck is going on with that disappearing extremity.

Sorry, Treasure, but you know what happens when you give a dog a bone. Hopefully we can end 'leg-gate' and return to our original programming.
The pic is coming across small, but I highlighted in red what I believe to be his vanishing leg. It's sorta going back under his chair, in a 'normal' sitting position. I think it is an optical illusion where his 'stub' is actually his knee (and area below it) kinda pointed at the viewer. The awkward look of his left hand adds a little credence to that theory. Heck, I could be completely wrong, but that's how I am seeing it. 977889570_o2.jpg
