Product Description

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

3.0 out of 5 stars You get too little for the money., September 30, 2003

I agree with the other reviewer on this site whose expectations were deflated by the purchase of this dog. I was also disappointed by my purchase. I bought this dog for my four year old daughter thinking that it would be a good 'teaching tool' to help her learn to care for a real dog. Initially she was thrilled with the dog and she played with it all day long the first day I brought it home. Now, here it is only the third day after my purchase, and it sits untouched at the bottom of her closet. You get too little for the [money] spent! You get a dog that moves on wheels with a few sound effects. All the so-called programming is too complicated, and doesn't even work half the time. The dog supposedly comes to you when you call it, but mine doesn't - it just 'rolls' into walls. And it doesn't feel at all like a real dog (or even like a fake dog should). It feels like a plastic car or train covered in fake fur. I hope this helps. About half-price is reasonable for this toy .

3.0 out of 5 stars Warning and review, September 21, 2003

I'm thinking of 3 stars as average.
Like many of you, my child wants a REAL dog, so we are trying to compromise on something that doesn't shed so much, etc. :-)
I think I had my hopes up a little high for this toy. I was hoping with newer technology it would seem more real. It is still ok, and I guess you could say that the quirks in how it works are like a REAL temperamental puppy. I was dissappointed to see that it actually 'walks' using wheels. The instruction book has a warning that a child's hair could become entangled in the moving parts, so I guess it's best not to hug it! It really isn't that huggable anyway. My daughter still likes it (had it 1 day), but I actually got online today to see if I could find a better alternative (I didn't). The sensors on the dog are almost like buttons under the fur, so you have to be pretty specific about where you 'pet' her to get her to respond to those. There are instructions to get the dog to stay still for grooming and we haven't been able to get that to work...pet 1st the side then the head, then the back, then the head again..or some series like that. Oh and the fur on the dog's forehead is stiff like it's been over hair sprayed. Overall...cute,but not as 'real' as I'd hoped, not huggable, and be careful about those wheels. I paid 39.00 at a well known discount store 9/03. I know it's gotten long..but here is my 6 1/2 yr old's review: I like the dog, but she never seems to wag her tail and when you call her she runs into the couch and gets stuck. Whenever I touch her she moves away! Hope that helps!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for 4 year olds, October 31, 2003

This review is from: Go-Go My So Real Walkin' Pup: White (Toy)

I bought this for a 4-year old (the box says ages 4+), but in my opinion it's a little confusing for a 4 year old. Her older sisters seemed to have a ball with it, but she tired of it easily. The TV commercial makes it look simple, but it's not that simple to operate.
I was a little disappointed. (Especially for $50.00)
