Editorial Review

While there exist numerous trainable robotic dogs on the marketplace, there's something a little refreshing about a furry mechanical pup that simply does whatever he wants to. Because really, haven't we all met or even owned dogs like that? Once Go-Go is turned on, he moves back and forth on tiny wheels hidden under thick blond fur all the while pivoting at the shoulders and hips to give a more realistic depiction of walking. Go-Go is a noisy little critter as well barking and panting while moving about the floor. While the real dog movements and sounds were lots of fun, such entertainment does come at a price, in this case five "C" batteries. Like a real dog, Go-Go wears a fetching purple bandana but unlike a real dog, Go-Go has an off switch. --Charlie Williams

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring and doesn't easily come when called, December 11, 2003

By	Jacqueline R. Rupp (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I had purchased this toy for my daughter for Christmas, but after reading (and trusting) the reviews I decided to let her play with it now so I had time to get her something else if this wasn't a good toy. Turns out the reviews are right. My daughter had to repeatedly call the dog, only to have it move two feet, turn its head and bark at her. She got bored with it after twenty minutes. The dog isn't useful as a "stuffed" animal either. It's just a machine with fur over it so it's not something she'd cozy up with. The fur was sliding around on it too. Not a good toy and not worth the price. I returned it the next day and my daughter hasn't asked about it since.

2.0 out of 5 stars Go Go is a No Go, November 29, 2003

By A Customer

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

Bought Go Go for my 7 year old daughter who tried to call it once with no success. This toy does not come when called unless you are screaming loudly and continuously for a long while.

The fur is fine and brushes well, and the sounds made are real enough. The biggest complaint is that the motions are too hard to "train" and this toy does not respond as described to sounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy, December 31, 2003

A Kid's Review

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

My 5 year old cousin got this "puppy" for Christmas and LOVES it. It is a great toy and all of my other cousins (I have quite a bit) couldn't get enough of it. I enjoyed playing with it and so does my cousin that recieved the gift. It works great and I am surprised that some people don't even like it! Here is why I rated it the way I did-
FUN: It is a really fun toy, because of how close it is to a real puppy. It really comes when you call, and for a child that doesn't have a real pet to play with it can lead to hours of enjoyment
EDUCATION: I think this toy is really educational, because my cousin has no pet of her own and it teaches her responsibility for all animals. When she does something to it that would hurt a regular puppy (ie, pick it up by its head) my aunt will tell her that that was wrong and show her the right way to pick up a puppy. It can be a learning experience if you want it to be.
DURABILITY: This toy seems pretty durable. Just make sure you don't drop it so much and it looks like it will last a pretty long time.
