Editorial Review

All the Hollywood starlets know that the pound’s the place to get your pup. With big eyes, soft ears, and a pink tongue perfect for pretend puppy kisses, this cute white mutt comes with its own adoption certificate and lots of love to give. Call or clap and the puppy comes out of its purple doghouse, barking and panting with excitement and eager to join in the fun. Whether spinning in circles or following along on the bright red leash, this puppy never moves too fast for little feet to follow. Watch as it proudly carries a magnetized ball or bone around the room. Press its chin and it spins with joy, ignore it and it will tilt his head expectantly, cry for attention, and then find its way back to the doghouse to wait until you’re ready to play once more. Pound Puppies require three AA batteries (included) but to make sure your pup can find its doghouse, you’ll need three more AA batteries (not included). --Heather Lyndon

Product Description

Call your pup, and he'll come out of his doghouse to play with you! See how excited he gets with his adorable yelps and spins. Put on his leash and go for a walk. If you stop playing, your pup will beg with a friendly yelp. If you still don't respond, he'll go back to his doghouse and rest patiently for you. Includes leash and bone. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (included). Measures 10" long. Puppy breed, colors and markings will vary.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 year old lost interest after 5 minutes, October 12, 2005

This review is from: Pound Puppies: Here Puppy Puppy Dog: White Mutt (Toy)

We have a 3 year old who is very interested in dogs. She stated dragging a piece of ribbon all over trying to walk her pretend doggie. We thought she might like this, but the only part she remains interested in is the pretend leash. I think the mechanical sound the wheels make scare her just a bit. I had hoped she would be able to walk the toy with it turned off, but the wheels are mechanical and do not turn well with the toy off.

I will say that the dog behaves as promised. He comes out of his house when called and finds his way back again.

My 5 year old daughter bought this with her birthday money. She played with it for an hour or so, before retiring it to her room. It just sits in the corner. The doghouse has a ramp that doesn't stay attached. She claims that the dog doesn't listen to her or do what she thought it should. The dog is very mechanical (I guess she was expecting a "realistic" dog). I would say, probably not worth the money. We would try to return it, but I already tossed the box.

This review is from: Pound Puppies: Here Puppy Puppy Dog: White Mutt (Toy)

My daughter asked for this toy for Xmas and I couldn't find one. However, I did get one a couple of weeks ago on sale. As mentioned in the other reviews, it does none of the things it is supposed to do! The worst part of it all was when my daughter said "he musn't like me as he never comes to me". Little children don't understand it's a battery operated piece of metal - they attribute the same thoughts and feelings to it that they would a real animal. My daughter found the entire experience of trying to get the dog to play with her very frustrating as did I. Save yourself the frustration (and money!!) and avoid this mechanical mutt!
