Great soft toy

My 8 year old daughter chose this when she wasn't allowed a real puppy for her birthday. I have to admit I fully expected him to be a bit rubbish but he's actually pretty great and the daughter loves him. It's not your average soft toy as it doesn't bend and can't really snuggle but it's a brilliant fake dog! He doesn't chew the furniture, doesn't need walking and he only eats pom poms so he's very cheap to run. He only needs the Amazon box for a bed too. I do think he is well made with nice sturdy legs and after 2 months of being taken all over the place and played with a lot he's still as good as new. I wouldn't recommend this as a normal cuddly toy but I really would if, like our 8 year old, you are looking for a fake dog that's realistic enough without being creepy.

I was amazed when the dog arrived. Much larger than I expected and stands really well. I got this dog to stand in my livingroom after I lost my real dog. I am too old and not fit to have another dog. This dog has helped me and anyone buying it, I think will be really happy with it. I can find no fault with this dog.

Daughter absolutely loves it !!

It's not a soft cuddly toy but it stands upright without falling and does exactly what I needed it to do.

Present for grandson, over the moon with it

Lovely and solidly made.
