Pound Puppies Hi, my name is Chris and I'm 33 here in Ohio. My father worked at ford with Mike Bowling the creator of pound puppies and was one of his friends. When mike came up with the idea he and his wife made the first 500 by hand and they were much higher quality with much more detail than the ones sold in stores. Mike bowling gave my dad two of them so that is how I have the one I do. On the bottom of dog mike signed collector edition 1985- 116/500 and he signed it. It came with real nice wooden box and papers showing what it is. I'm thinking of selling it so if anybody can help me out or point me in the right direction that would be great.
