DCD Publishing Unite Iconic Hit Song ‘Puppy Love’ With Newborn Puppy

DCD Publishing is delighted to announce the birth of a puppy.

Proud parents include Chrysalis Music, Posh Paws, Universal Music, Big Ideas and DCD Publishing – they have all created what must be one of the most exciting consumer products in years.

A first in its kind, the puppy now in development will sing the original iconic hit ‘Puppy Love’ written by Paul Anka and a worldwide hit for Donny Osmond.*

Puppy Love featured in the 2008 animated short Wallace and Gromit cartoon ‘A Matter of Loaf and Death‘.

Michael Gottlieb, Head of Licensing and Music Merchandising, DCD Publishing said: “Sometimes a product just begs to be developed!“

Gareth Smith Head of Synchronisation, Chrysalis Music commented: “The puppy toy is not only a new and important source of income, but gives a new lease of life to an iconic song”.

Notes:

Puppy Love is the first deal delivered by DCD Publishing’s newly launched music merchandising division which has got off to a tremendous start and has a strong slate of innovative projects in the pipeline for 2010.
