"Lovable, Huggable!"
Pound Puppies were designed by Mike
Bowling in 1984 and have been in production
ever since, changing hands many times (as you can see)!
They started out life a series of soft
puppies which were adopted when children bought them
(just like Cabbage patch Kids). Pound Pur-r-ries
were added to the line, and as they grew in popularity,
more and more related merchandise was produced including
books, animated videos, puzzles and games.
Over the years they have been produced
by Irwin, Hornby,
Tonka, Galoob, Mary
Meyer, Jakks Pacific, Mattel
and Flair. Every company re-designed
the puppies slightly and brought out different lines,
Tonka and Galoob being the most prolific. Just to make
things even more confusing, Pound Puppies were also
produced for different parts of Europe under various
names and by various companies (which were all also
differently designed).
