Back in the same packaging that spoke to us as children, these pups come in two sizes. You can get the fully grown dogs measuring about seventeen inches. Or adopt a puppy, complete with diaper, which measures about six inches long. No matter which size you choose, these puppies come packaged in a cardboard box decorated to look like a fence. They also include an adoption certificates kids can fill out.

You can choose the pattern and color you like best, from white, brown, and gray, and solid or spotted. With their heads sticking out of the box, you get a good idea of what your new pet will look like. Their soft fur makes them great for snuggling and petting.

I had a hard time resisting these guys when I first saw them in stores. I managed not to come home with the entire pack, but my daughter received one as a birthday present. I don’t know who was more excited, her or me. I think the newer versions are even softer than the ones I had in childhood. In any case, we’re excited to add another member to the stuffed animal family.
