DOGGIE PING
Duke the Bush’s beans dog has passed
RIP
Will have to have some baked beans tomorrow.
Duke never was able to reveal that secret formula.
They are a beautiful dogs.
There is another dog, probably dead by now which I have seen in a lot of shows and ads. I don’t know what breed it is but it is a light colored retriever.
I was watching Duke’s baked bean commercials on Dallas TV in 1995. I think there has been more than one Duke.

Same dog they did not start till 1996
“Concept for the commercial was spawned in 1996 by Jay Bush, who had a real life Golden Retriever named Duketo”
No Way
So sad to hear. Run free Duke
They are beautiful dogs. My daughter has one. It always has a smile on its face.
Roll that beautiful bean footage!
From the Article:
‘During that time, we’ve worked closely with several dogs who portrayed Duke in our commercials, including Sam.’

How very sad. He was like one of our own as he was in our house on our TV screen so much.
R.I.P. Duke/Sam.
Aww... this made me sad especially because we have a Golden who will be turning 13 this year. She’s slowed down but still in pretty good shape. She has her own personal fan next to her bed but the other day, with a tent full of girls sleeping in our backyard, she insisted on sleeping at the tents door to keep a good eye on them. I’m sure the ground wasn’t comfortable but that’s the kind of girl she is. RIP Duke/Sam
I used to own a Golden Retriever. I NEVER let him in on my my embezzlement planning - these dogs are WAY TOO SMART, and probably would have tipped off the SEC.
You can’t be too careful these days.
Poor Duke.Just had to put my cartoon dog to sleep for the same reason.She was such a sweet baby and beautiful dog.
