I ordered this puppet for my mother. She is a therapist and collects puppets to use with younger children (it makes it easier to talk about their feelings and situations when they act it out, or simply play first). This puppet had great personality and metaphoric possibilities.
I haven't yet given it to my mother (it's for Christmas), but I have received it in the mail. The packaging, delivery, et cetera was all fine. The durability, size, and quality of the product is also great.
It really is cute, and does have a lot of personality.

My only concern with it, which may also just be a matter of opinion) is that it's fur was a little bit more technicolored than it appears in the photo. It seems brighter in a more synthetic, won-from-a-carnival kind of way. It bothers me only because in the photo, the puppet looks homey and aged in a very sweet way, and the color and feel of the fur in real life (although durable and soft), just seems to cheapen it aesthetically.

Overall, I don't regret the purchase. I just wish a more accurate photo was posted.

This is a cute puppet, but it's so big that it's hard for a child to use. My husband and I use it to put on a puppet show with our daughter.

I bought this thinking it would have that beautiful aurburn tones that it does in the photo. But the one that I got in the mail was dirty brown color. I'm very disapointed in the color however it is a great puppet and is fun for all ages.

You can't go wrong with Melissa and Doug products in my opinion.....Really Cute dog puppet well made and fun for a gift instead of a plush that does nothing!~

Rags the Dog.. better known as Deputy Rags to my Sunday School Class is a much loved addition to my puppets and the people on my puppet team love to work with him. My 'kids' love Rags he is such a silly puppy.
If you have a puppet team and/or work with children with puppets this puppet should be part of your team. Put a cowboy hat on him and a scarf on his neck with a badge and he is the sheriff. Sunglasses and a baseball cap and he is part of the team.. or a spy even.. you will enjoy working with this puppet.. lots of room for you to dress him up

this was my 7 year old sons favorite toy he got for his birthday its very very well made!!

I ordered this puppet for my granddaughter. She loves it so much she takes it to bed with her and cuddles it while she sleeps.
