My granddaughter really wanted this..so I got it for her. She took the tag off and played with it for a couple of days. Then, she got interested in littlest pet shop toys..so this puppet went into the playpen with her other stuffies..never to be played with again! I've been slowly selling off her stuffies..the only ones she won't part with are the dogs and puppies. All of the stuffies that I list are in barely played with condition. In fact, if I still had the tag for this puppet, I could attach it and no one could ever tell that it had been played with..that is how great of condition he is in!
