Pickles (born 1962 or 1963; died 1967) was a black and white collie dog, known for his role in finding the stolen Jules Rimet Trophy in March 1966, four months before the 1966 FIFA World Cup was scheduled to kick off in England.
Later Life
Pickles starred with Eric Sykes and June Whitfield in the 1966 film The Spy with a Cold Nose. He also appeared on several television programmes, including Blue Peter and Magpie. He was also named "Dog of the Year", and awarded a year of free food by pet food manufacturer Spillers.[4]
Pickles died in 1967 when he was strangled by his choke chain lead that caught on a tree branch while he was chasing a cat near his new home in Surrey.[10][4] He was buried in his owner's back garden,[11] and his collar is on display in the National Football Museum in Manchester.
