The Ponsse story has been told around the world for 55 years. Who would have thought that the mixed-breed and low-bodied Ponsse dog that roa­med the vil­lage of Vie­remä would still remem­ber its name deca­des later?

“We wan­ted to int­ro­duce the Ponsse dog for the first time in our his­tory. The story of the dog itself has been fami­liar since the com­pany was foun­ded, but this sym­pat­he­tic pro­ta­go­nist has never been int­ro­duced before,” tells Juha Vidgren, Senior Advi­sor in Public Rela­tions of Ponsse.

“We would like to express our gra­ti­tude to the Ponsse dog’s owner family, the heirs of Manne Tar­vai­nen, whose family album con­tains a pho­to­graph of the family hun­ting dog, which is now see­ing the light of day after 55 years. We would also like to thank the video script, which Ponsse Oy’s first engi­neer Jouko Kelppe wrote back in 1973 for Ponsse’s first broc­hure. Warm thanks also to the nar­ra­tor, Markku Pölö­nen – the story of the Ponsse dog was given its due voice.”
