1950's Print 2 boys and a Beagle Puppy, "Friends in Need" Frances Tipton Hunter

Description

I acquired a massive collection of vintage dog memorabilia because I love to buy collections but even more, I love dogs!  I cant even tell you positively what kind of dogs they are now that I am looking at them. (We have GSDs and rescues so anything else throws me)  I did go to the largest dog loving society in the world though to find out about this dog!
The majority of the group felt this puppy is a Beagle. They were very popular in the 1950's when I believe this print was produced.  It is a little funny and a little Norman Rockwell-ish in that one young lad looks distressed while the other is holding and loving on the puppy.  These prints that I am offering remind me so much of the Andy Griffith show and the wholesomeness of that time period.
The print is signed Frances Tipton Hunter and under her name is a stamp "Made in USA" and finally a title "Friends in Need".
Condition:  This print has been out on a wall and proudly displayed over the years so while the colors are acceptable they show fading commensurate with being on display for so many years.  There are other nuances commensurate with age but  nothing that I feel will bother the next owner. The frame works nicely and appears to maybe be the original one based on the cardboard backing with "brads" used to hold it all in the frame.
