Pompompurin (or Pudding Dog) is a good-natured Golden Retriever dog character introduced by the Japanese company Sanrio in 1996. Purin was born on a sunny day on April 16th, 1996. Pompompurin lives in his own basket in the entrance hall of his sister-owner's house. His trademark is his brown beret that is always on top of his head. Pompompurin's best friends include a hamster called Muffin, a mouse named Scone, and a bird named Custard who loves to steal Pompompurin's hat and perch on his head. He secretly likes it when the wind blows Pompompurin's beret off, so he can retrieve it!
