Dogs - Rasal Khaima

Ras-Al-Khaimah is one of the seven emirates. Ras al Khaima was the last of the Trucial States to issue its own stamps. Its first set was a definitive series that was issued on 12 December 1964. Ras al Kaimah agreed to join the United Arab emirates on 11 February 1972. More about Ras-al-Khaimah here.

 
Though the stamps feature the name as "Rasal Khaima", i guess the actual name is "Ras-Al-Khaimah".

I have not been successful in knowing more about this set of 6 stamps, but i do see that in 1971 this emirate issued a set of stamps on dogs - which are not the same as this set.
