Cuddle Barn - My Little Puppy - Animated Singing Musical Puppy Dog Stuffed Animal Plush Toy Claps and Flaps Ears, 12 inches

This is adorable and the kids love it. However, I’ve bought this 2 times now and both times it broke. The last time it lasted less than 2 weeks! It as for a morning circle in the classroom and we were very careful with how it was used as the first one did not last. So, we only let staff touch it and it still broke. We have other singing animated animals and they last fine. It’s too bad because it really is sweet and the song is a song kids love. It’s not worth the money though.

I bought this for my son as a holiday present when he was 3 months old, because "If You're Happy And You Know It" was his favorite song. However, at that time it scared him. I pulled it out again when he was 9 months old and he LOVED it then! While my stuffed animal isn't as plush and cuddly-looking as it appears in the picture, it is still pretty cute. The voice singing is childish but not too obnoxious, and I like that it repeats the verse several times (and you can always make it stop by pressing the foot again). My son always starts smiling and crawls towards the puppy whenever it starts singing; today he even started smiling and crawled to it when it wasn't even on! It definitely keeps him happy and occupied and is the only stuffed animal he likes. I hope it will help him learn how to clap as he is fascinated with the moving hands and ears, so I don't mind that the song only does the clapping verse and not the other ones (stomp, hurray).

I have bought 3 of these for my grandchildren. They enjoy it for years.

I love this product. But there was ONE PROBLEM for me at least. The mechanical portion located underneath the armpit area that controls the arm swing is very POINTY and faces out. This can eventually penetrate the cloth and cause injury. Maybe this was a defect, so I wanted to exchange the product with the AMAZON AGENT, but they told me that NO EXCHANGES I have to reorder. That's great, but now the reorder delivery date has been pushed out to 10 days. And I'm a Prime member. I need it within 5 days. And what if it had the same defect?

Firstly, the video review on this little doggie is absolutely great. While the dog is cute, I wasn't particularly drawn to him out of the vast numbers of animated stuffed toys. But after watching this little guy from the start to the finish on the video, I found myself laughing and smiling even though I was alone in the room. So, I ordered it as a Christmas gift for my 84-yr-old mom, and she is really crazy about it. She has laughed and laughed since Christmas day. My rating gives 5* for fun, as that is what it's made for and it definitely does the job there. The lower stars on education and durability are because I don't think this toy actually educates as much as entertain. Usually these little mechanical stuffed toys don't last very long, so I gave it a 3 star. However, because of how cute this great little toy is, I gave it 5 stars overall. This one's a winner, so if you're looking for a cute and funny little stuffed toy, you might want to give this a try. The real toy is even better than the video!

My baby loves it, my dog is freaked out about it. So cute in my opinion. Not the softest and the sound is def great volume for my house. Can’t hear it in the next room. Quality wise, you get what you paid for and it’s def worth the money if you use it often.

My 17 month old smiled as soon as she saw this little guy start to "dance." He's very cute. Reason for the 3 star review though is I can feel hard corners/points of sharp plastic just below the fabric on his back. No padding or stuffing covering them, which doesn't exactly make it kid friendly to hold. I fear it is only a matter of time before they poke all the way through.

I was worried when ordering this because a few reviews said the ears didn't work correctly. But I ordered it anyway because of the song and no one said they had any problems with the arm movement. Well, sure enough the ears did not work. But I loved the softness and the song is adorable. So, I decided to keep it. I'M SURE GLAD I DID. After a week or so, I was feeling through the furry fabric all around the ears trying to see if I could feel something broken when I felt a clicking movement. Guess what? The ears do work. I believe when this toy is manufactured the ears are held in a down position some how and to activate them after shipping the ears simply need some gentle movement to get them started. The hands AND ears work with every press of the button. My grandson loves it. This puppy gets a lot of hugs.

Excellent
