Melissa & Doug Giant Dalmatian - Lifelike Stuffed Animal Dog (Over 2 feet Tall)

I bought this to use in sales presentations for a pet company. I sat in my back of my car and used it for demonstration for dog boots. It’s a charming dog and it has an interesting expression. That’s what the review is really about. The quality is good but the dog is making the face that a dog makes only when you’re scratching someplace where there’s a hot button you know you’ve hit gold. Somehow they captured that so it’s a true piece of art away. Not sure if child would understand it, but they should….it should be explained to them…. And demonstrated…. if you just scratch the dog like you would under the neck the expression comes alive. Very well done.

My daughter used this as a prop for her Cruella de Vil costume, and it was absolutely perfect! So many people thought it was a real dog and couldn’t stop talking about it. I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant about the price at first, but once it arrived, I could see it was totally worth it. The quality and realistic look made her whole costume stand out.

I found the all black one at a thrift store for $5 . My daughter opened a pet grooming salon and wanted these for the window. This was on sale for cheap so I bought it for her. People think they are real dogs in the window !

My pup is 22” at the shoulder to give you an idea of size. We got this as a pal for her but she systematically chewed holes in it. We had to throw it away as she did accidentally eat stuffing. This would be a great pal for a gentler dog.

I ordered four large, stuffed animals, for four granddaughters for Christmas. All are Melissa & Doug, which never disappoints as to quality. The Dalmatian has the most realistic-looking head and face, and this Nana is going to have a hard time giving it up, lol!

Bought it as a birthday gift for a 6-year-old. This dog quickly became the center of the bday party, she loved it, and I felt like a hero.

It feels like good quality. I recommend.

So real looking!!
