I purchased this dog for my 2 year old granddaughter and she loves it. This is actually the second she has had, the first taught her that if the dog is trying to flip, and you sit on it, you will not flip along with it. You will break it. Dog #2 is doing much better. I would recommend this product.

Sparky doesn't land on his feet as well as FIDO but is smaller and has a red tongue and mouth that opens which FIDO doesn't have.

My dog loves this toy. He brings it to us to turn it on. He chases it and tosses it and the little thing has lasted through all of that mistreatment since Christmas morning - so nearly three months worth of torment.

These flip over dogs have been around for quite a while but they're still a lot of fun and kids will love it. The dog barks, walks, sits and then flips over. I usually see these in stores around the holidays but if you want one other times of the year it's so much easier to get online. Here's a video so you can see Sparky in action!

I bought a similar dog for my grand daughter 5 years ago from KB Toys.This one is for my grand son.It does everything it is supposed to do.The battery weight is critical.Wouldn't work with rechargeable batteries because they are much lighter.Some adjustment of twisting the tail is needed as per instruction.Good toy.

literally made of nails/dangerous for children and pets. don't believe it? look inside, and ps even with adjustment of tale as suggested, it did not flip, the batteries fell out so they had to be taped in place, and the "flip" mechanism can pinch.
i am sorry to see it is still offered for sale, since i did return it and the nails were visible when i returned it. this item is dangerous.

I bought this toy as a Christmas gift for my 3 year old daughter. She loves dogs and was excited when she opened this gift. The dog rarely landed on its feet despite attempts to adjust it and broke within an hour of opening it. When I attempted to put the toy back on its feet after a flip the dog would not stand up because one of the back legs broke when it landed. My daughter was very disappointed that the toy broke so quickly especially since she enjoyed playing with it. I would not buy this product again.

My Mother had a Sparky over 40 years ago and this is the same dog. He quit doing a flip and I wanted another one. I have a new Shih Tzu puppy and she has the best time watching the new Sparky do flips. Brings back good memories of a precious toy!
We still have the original Sparky and treasure it!

Toy was fine but not the quality of one we had for over 20 years until it was lost at a family gathering! My grandaughter was enjoying the older toy and this is a replacement. It is a little less reliable than the old toy. This one over-flips. That can be frustrating. But we are happy to find a replacement of a "lost friend"

Most of us have seen this mechanical toy. It's cute and makes young children laugh. My only concern was that the shipping costs were almost equal to the cost of the toy itself. I paid the price because I really wanted it for my grand-daughter. You can often find this toy in a mall kiosk during the holidays. If you have time -- look for it there first.
