Piddles
From Muppet Wiki
(Redirected from Piddles the Pug)
Piddles is a dog character created for Puppet Up!. Working off of a design by performer Julianne Buescher for a diaper-clad Pug, Jane Gootnick found a Dog City extra in storage and mended and re-dressed it for the role. The puppet had also previously been used as Pavlov the Pug Dog in The Animal Show.
Many "Puppet Up!" shows are opened by Mr. Guy and his dog Piddles. Mr. Guy often confuses Piddles' gender, occasionally saying "good girl" only to quickly correct himself to say "boy".
Piddles was featured on several pieces of Puppet Up! merchandise with the caption "Hug Me or I'll Poop!"
Trivia
- Piddles' dog tag reads "Piddles, 555-7667" (or 555-POOP).
- Jim Formanek (of the Jim Henson Co.) named the pooch after seeing Julianne's first character drawing.
