They say that owners often look like their dogs. No chance here.
The "Dog and trumpet" image is so well known that it has been the basis of many derivative works. I can't find an online reference immediately but Hoffnung did a lovely cartoon where the dog's paws are over its ears.
I will try to track down a photo (c1987?) of Lucien Nunes' father kneeling on top of the massive prewar RGD TV/radio/gram at the Dulwich museum and looking into the horn of the museum's big EMG gramophone horn. Gerry Wells also had a plaster cast dog that had a passing resemblance to Nipper, except that it was looking up, as if sniiffing the underside of something. Don't know if it's still at the musuem,
The other main HMV logo was the "Angel with stylus" or "Recording Angel" Example here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/davewebster14/3568198764/
