Have to give credit where it is due. Although the ad ran on
Australian television for several years, I believe it originated in
New Zealand.
The ad stopped only when the model was obsolete and they could not
justify showing it any longer. It one of those ads that everyone
remembers, but they cannot remember the product or the brand. In
this case people remember just the dog and "bugger", which is now
understood in Australia to be a word of New Zealand origin.
