My two year old boy has never shown much interest in toys, but lately he has been dragging stuff around, so I thought a pull toy will be suitable. He just turned three and I got him the pull dog for his birthday. In anticipation to the short cord, I bought a pair of shoe laces and used one to extend the cord. It works fine. He absolutely loves it and plays with it all day long. The dog is smaller than I expected, but well designed to suit its purpose. It lands on its "feet" almost all the time no matter how many obstacles it has to pass; it rolls on any surface, including carpet. Its head shakes and its tails wags as promised, but its bark is less than desirable. It is so loud! It is a cracking sound that doesn't resemble barking and can definitely drive any adult crazy. All said, it is the first toy my boy has ever shown interest, and I certainly don't regret buying it. I am going to put tape on its belly to muffle the sound, though.

My son seems to like this toy a lot (although it did just arrive today). However, based on the title of the toy "Pull Along Dog," I was expecting a toy that he could pull while walking. The string is only about 6 or 7 inches long, much too short for him to hold and pull the dog along behind him while he walks. I'm sure that this is for safety reasons, since a long string would be a strangulation hazard. THis is never a concern for me, since my son is never left unsupervized. The toy description also says that the dog "barks." Although it does make a sound when pulled, it's a far cry from the bark of a dog.

The string is way too short to pull this toy, but my twins both enjoyed pushing it around on the ground (rather like a car or truck), at least until they started walking.

I have this dog in the white color for my kids, they do like it but the things I don't like are that the string is to short for a three year old to really pull w/o having to bend down. And usually when they walk with it, it just ends up getting dragged. But it is cute and they like to have a dog, it has held up well to being thrown around and I recommend it.

Max has been a favorite toy at our house since we brought him home over six years ago. Our kids had a half a dozen or so pull toys but only Max kept their interest. Yes, the string is ridiculously short. However, I easily found a replacement and my kids were off and running with Max at their heels. Even now when our youngest two are almost four, Max is still popular. I think it's just that he's a dog that they can walk all by themselves. We highly recommend this toy!

my son received this for his first b-day...from our friends directly in sweden...i'm not sure if it differs a lot from those found in the usa, but he loves it. he has the yellow version, but the tail looks different...the string is plenty long enough and it stays upright and doesn't drag

My grandson loves the Ambi Max the Dog pull toy--it is so cute and durable and not too heavy to carry around. I wish the string were a little longer though, but we tied a small toy on the end for him to hold onto and that helped. It is a very cute toy for the price.

I just purchased this toy based on the good reviews I read, but was a bit dissappointed when I received it. I got the Quack Along Ducks also for my twins, and that one is much better. The dog doesn't even bark as advertised, it only makes a clicking sound. I am returning it tomorrow.

My nephew LOVES this toy that I gave him for his 1st birthday (he is now 2). He just pulls it around and around...and it is super durable. The string seems like it would be too short, but it's perfect!

i can't imagine my granddaughter's life without max! he is with her throughout her days and nights.our max is white and i see where it's now yellow? i hope you still have white as he is more realistic!every home should have max!
