My wife never had a dog when she was growing up, so she was a little leery when I came home with our first pup thirty years ago. Since then, we've shared our lives with several dogs young and old and now she says she can't imagine not having a dog by our sides. That's why, when looking to add a special bead to her Pandora bracelet, I passed over some genuine Pandora designs in favor of this Puppy Dog Paw Print bead.

Whether you're celebrating a special canine friend you love today, or are memorializing a beloved pet who now awaits you in the Afterlife, this bead is a great choice. The workmanship and quality of the glass is second to none and the design is perfect, with dark little pawprints marching along the milky-white glass. And this bead has a full-sized .925 silver core running through the center (not just a couple of silvertone end caps like some cheap beads I've bought and regretted.) So it looks right at home on a Pandora bracelet and not like you're a cheapskate trying to save a couple of bucks on a gift.
