Puppy in My Pocket
Topps - 1995

Notes:  The basic set that I have is the one manufactured and marketed by Topps beginning in 
1995, and includes 24 basic puppies and cards. Each "sachet" (package) countained one puppy 
miniature, one card describing the puppy, a collectafile listing 6 of the 24 characters, and a candy 
dog bone.

The Puppy in My Pocket series actually began in England about 1990, and additional puppies 
(and the same puppies with alternate names) were marketed there and overseas; puppies were 
distributed as prizes at various fast-food outlets in the U.S., including (at least) Checkers, Dairy 
Queen, and White Castle.  I list the names found in the Topps set and the alternate names, with 
numbers for the puppies that were not part of the Topps set. Any help in filling out the huge gaps 
would be appreciated! Thanks to Stefanie Grusczak for the inspiration, to Natalie Gansmoe for 
early information on the non-Topps (often distributed by Hasbro) puppies, to Antony Miller 
for the complete lower-number list of names used in the French distribution, and to Veera Tha 
Menninkäinen, Joline Oleksiw, Sarah Johnson, Sue, Carla, and Lynn Ewald for many updates 
on European and specialty cards!  And Malcolm Guy reports that some of the European come-
with-the-puppy cards were printed with different color backgrounds, which makes the card 
collecting even more challenging (thanks!).

We don't always know the numbers that are assigned to the puppy's attributes, and when they 
are known to be different on different cards, I show it. That makes them different puppies, 
doesn't it?

Topps Box: 24 sachets, each with one puppy.
Common sets: approx. 1.0 per box if collation were perfect.
