In this photo print, we witness a truly iconic meeting of two beloved canines from different realms. K9, the renowned robot dog from the BBC TV series Dr Who, comes face to face with Robert, the charming Spillers dog food mascot. This extraordinary encounter took place on October 21st, 1977, as both dogs were brought together to commemorate Spillers' remarkable fifty-year journey. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that Robert is experiencing a mix of emotions upon meeting his mechanical counterpart. His golden retriever eyes reflect a hint of anxiety and cautious curiosity. Perhaps he wonders if K9's presence will overshadow his own popularity or if their worlds will somehow collide. The significance of this rendezvous extends beyond mere entertainment value; it symbolizes the convergence of two distinct cultural phenomena - cult television and pet food advertising. With over half a million packets sold each week solely due to Robert's adorable countenance gracing them, he has become an emblematic figure for Spillers' success. Photographer Ron Burton masterfully captures this historic moment without any human interference in sight. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on these enchanting creatures and their unspoken connection.

It serves as a testament to their enduring legacies within popular culture while reminding us that even inanimate beings can
