I got one of these one Christmas in the early 80's. Mine never Mildewed, but I don't think I used him in the tub all that often

You can find him on Ebay. There's several on there if you're looking for one.

I got one at the local flea market recently. All you could do was turn his head using the red handle like thing in the back of his collar. I vaguely remember having one as a child. I didn't see any at all on eBay though... I guess it depends on when you look.

i used to take him with me in every single bath. he's still at my parents house. so cute.

I had one too, I found out the hard way that you couldn't blow dry his ears. I was 7 give me a break.

mine was solid brown and i took a bath w. him every night

How scary is it that I can still sing the commerical jingle for this toy in its entirety? "Rub a dub doggy, soft little doggy, likes to take a bath with you. Taking a bath can be so much fun cause two in the bathtub is more fun than o-o-o-n-e!" Sad.

I had a brown one!!! I loved this thing and always took baths with it until my mother threw it out Years later...I wish I still had mine to give to my kids...boy they don't make toys like they used to!

i would love to find 2 of these, ebay didn't have any... any suggestions? mmhloans@yahoo.com thanks

I remember wanting one of these SOO bad, but no one ever bought me one. If I had one, it probably would have mildewed as much time as I liked to take baths! lol

OMG, upon seeing this picture, I definitely had one, but mine was blue, I think.

I had the little ones, a darker one and a lighter one, and they had a house/town thing that suction-cupped to the shower wall. Anybody know what I'm talking about? It was awesome!

This doggy used to come with a sponge bone, and was made by the Ideal Toy Company. Ideal Toy Company was founded as Ideal Novelty and Toy Company in New York in 1907 by Morris and Rose Michtom after they had invented the Teddy bear in 1903. The company changed its name to Ideal Toy Company in 1938. In 1982, the company was sold to CBS Toy Company, which itself closed down. Certain brands and toys have been continued through other companies. I found the old commercial for this toy on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58-LXdEkLtY

After looking again... it's rub a dub doggie... not doggy. Cute!

It works 50% of the time, everytime.

I am about to sell an original Rub A Dub Doggie on eBay if anyone is interested! He should be up tonight (1st July 2008).

Yah chelle, I remember the little ones. I saw it at the toy store once. I asked for it and my mom said no. When we went back later they were gone. She STILL feels bad!! Wasn't it a carwash? If I ever found it, I would totally buy it!
