What are the names of the dog characters that Datsun / Nissan used in
their advertising in the 1980's . There were at least two dogs, soft
toys were available of them but I want to know their actual names. At
least two please.

You might try http://www.adcritic.com. There is some signing up to do
and all so I'm not comfortable getting in there. He has probably heard
of the Dog(s) as I found one link of his that mentions them;

"Another favorite of mine, and I managed to find a video clip of it:
Nissan's "dogs love trucks/evening drive" ad is a classic.
(http://www.adcritic.com/content/nissan-walk-the-owner.html) And so is
that dog. The look on his face just kills me, no matter what
commercial he's in."

Thanks
but that site seems to want $70 before i can look at anything on it.
