Here is the Postal dog Story behind this stamp, very interesting,

The "tramp mail dog" was the subject of scores of 1890s newspaper articles, each one burnishing Owney's celebrity to a brighter sheen. One story claimed the scrawny mutt stood guard over a mail sack that had fallen from a wagon to protect its contents from thieves.

Postal workers considered Owney a good luck charm in an era when the job was a dangerous one due to train derailments, explosions and robberies. The trains the dog rode on managed to reach their destinations unscathed. Workers began attaching leather and metal baggage tags to Owney's collar to mark his travels. The shiny tokens became so numerous and heavy that in 1894 Postmaster General John Wanamaker presented Owney with a harness-like jacket that more evenly distributed the weight of his fame. The dog eventually logged more than 140,000 miles on the rails.

In 1895, Owney was sent on an around-the-world sailing voyage as a goodwill ambassador. He traveled with a dog-size suitcase holding a blanket, his comb and a brush. He was shipped under a special mail classification: "Registered Dog Package."

By early 1897, Owney was old and failing. He had gone blind in one eye, could only chew soft food and turned ornery in retirement confinement at the Albany post office. In June of that year, Owney stowed away on a mail train bound for Toledo, Ohio. During an interview with a Toledo newspaper reporter, the terrier lashed out and bit a postal worker. On June 11, 1897, Owney was shot and killed, probably by a U.S. marshal, although nobody claimed credit for the deed.
