History

Since it disappeared from the A&W menu in 2017, there’s one legacy item that fans have been committed to getting back: The Whistle Dog.

The Whistle Dog is a true A&W classic that was beloved by Canadians for decades. While it was available, it grew such a dedicated following.

Since its departure, Whistle Dog fans have started petitions, written songs, rallied support on the radio, and filled up A&W’s comment sections on social media, all in an attempt to bring the iconic hot dog back.

Take one fan in Manitoba for instance – a dedicated Whistle Dog warrior that went out of his way to comment on every single A&W Instagram post since 2021 saying, “Bring back the Whistle Dog!”

Then there’s a Calgary morning radio show host who even started an online petition to get the Whistle Dog back.

Bring Back the Whistle Dog

To celebrate its limited-time return, A&W is releasing “Bring Back the Whistle Dog”, a hot dog-umentary about the cult menu item and the lengths its diehard fans have gone through to get it back.

While Canadians can get their hands on a Whistle Dog on July 25th, they’ll have to wait until August 12th to watch the irreverent dog-umentary, which will be accessible via A&W’s social channels and YouTube.

It is a $7.00 weiner - in a bun - with some condiments added. ...nothing to see here (or taste).

Good grief! Charlie Brown.- why so much Hype?

I made six of these for my family at home for the $8.04 it would have cost for one at A&W.

No thanks.
