2017 marked the 75th<\/sup> anniversary for toilet paper brand Andrex<\/a> and 2018 marks the 46th<\/sup> birthday of the iconic Andrex Puppy. Described as one of the most famous puppies in Great Britain<\/a>, the frisky Labrador Retriever has spent decades playing with rolls of the nation\u2019s favorite TP from the brand committed to making everyone feel as clean as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What don\u2019t we already know about this mischievous face? Let\u2019s take a look back at his overnight success that took him from scampering around household bathrooms to becoming beloved by families everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. The Andrex Puppy almost didn\u2019t happen. The original concept for the commercial campaign was to have a little girl running through her house trailing a roll of Andrex toilet paper behind him. However, television regulators blocked the idea as they considered it to be too wasteful. A Labrador replaced the little girl and the Andrex Puppy made his TV debut in 1972. In the original spot, the Andrex Puppy pulled out a roll of Andrex all throughout the house to advertise the strength, softness, and length of the roll that makes the toilet paper so special and loved by people everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Since the 1972 advert aired, there have been over 120 adverts<\/a> with 120 puppies that have portrayed the Andrex puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
