Fire dogs — the traditional name for andirons, or the metal supports that hold logs in a fireplace — have a fitting canine connection that goes beyond their name. Dog-shaped fire dogs have been popular since the 18th century, with breeds like Setters, Bulldogs, and Dachshunds rendered in cast iron, brass, and bronze to guard the hearth. These functional yet decorative fireplace accessories bring both warmth and whimsy to a room, and they’re prized by collectors of antique fireplace accessories, architectural salvage, and dog-themed home décor.
