Enough to wear his picture on your finger or around your neck? The men and ladies of the Victorian and the Edwardian period did. And it's popular even more now than ever. Not only in jewelry, but in interiors. I don't think there's another Interior Designer that loves their dog more than Tulsa designer Charles Faudree. In every published picture of his home(s) you will see his beloved dog(s) in the photographs. Look at the home in this post for example. Not only is his dog shown, but in each photograph you can count many dogs. (Not less than four in any of them! Try and see if you can see all of them!)

I bought these as a gift for my husband a few years back. Although we've never had a boxer, he's always thought they were the coolest looking dog.
