#24: Pound Puppies
Initially just another stuffed toy line launched in 1984, Pound Puppies quickly became a must-have, dominating Christmas wish lists and the toy market by the year’s end, showcasing their unexpected rise to fame.
Each Pound Puppy came with adoption papers, fostering a unique bond between the toy and its owner, a first in the stuffed toy market. The 1986 animated series furthered their legacy, taking kids on adventures with beloved characters like Cooler and Whopper.
