I've just looked through pages of images for ads for Colmans but haven't spotted George yet. But I WILL find him! I love this stuff - my job requires me to search the web all the time but I only enjoy doing it for things like this!

Apparently this run of ads made Boxers very popular as family pets!

Yes I suggest that too here's their website about the history of it all

http://www.colmans.co.uk/

And a link to a vid of their TV ads

http://www.colmans.co.uk/about-colmans/our-tv-ads/
That just appears to feature a pantomime cow!

How odd every single mention of this dog uses that same paragraph of text and almost every single photo of a boxer on Google images is from boxerdogblog.blogspot.com

I noticed that but as it was all that I could find I posted it in good faith.

As for the advertisement/commercial itself? It was after I left the UK in 1985 so I never saw the Colman's advertisement and have no idea whether "this" George was in fact "that" George!

Probably the only posting I'll make, but I must put everyone out of their misery!

Well done Last Chance! Don't be a stranger! We obviously need a YouTube researcher of your calibre on Dogsey!

The link I posted no longer works as Colmans have been taken over by Unilever

Sadly I don't have a dog as I travel a lot - even so my posts have just doubled.

However, my wife did remind me that there is one other advert featuring George, perhaps more, so approaching Colmans might be the only way to find it.
