Thanks for the info (for Dutch, I assume?).

Yes, I know. And that's part of my explanation to people who asked me.
But it doesn't help much, as a footprint still implies treading with a foot,
although some fairy tale mentioning does deviate the askers to something
else, especially for children. :-) But that doesn't always work for adult
people.

Besides, you may not have a chance explain that to everybody who
doubts the logo.

> Is showing a paw print in your culture considered rude?

Not at all. That's normal.
