Pickles (dog)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pickles (d. 1973) was a dog renowned for his role in finding the stolen Jules Rimet Trophy in 1966.
The trophy was stolen during a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall, four months before the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England, but was found just seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill, South Norwood, South London, by Pickles while taking a walk with his owner David Corbett.[1] As a reward Pickles was allowed to lick the plates after the World Cup banquet.[citation needed]
Pickles died by choking on his own lead while chasing a cat.[2]
An entirely fictional version of the story was told in a 2006 ITV drama written by Michael Chaplin, called Pickles: The Dog Who Won The World Cup. He was voiced by Harry Enfield. [1]
