HollyHOME Maltese Stuffed Animal Realistic Maltese Dog Plush Toy Pet Gift for Kids 13 inches

Very real life looking! Family has often times mistaken for real dog

Bought this for my young sons after we put down one of our family dogs. I read that it was a great grieving tool and it sure was. My kids having something they could physically squeeze began to mend their broken hearts.

Once I got it out of the shrink wrap, rearranged its face, and waited a few hours it was just like the picture! Soft and cute.

Ok, so it comes shrink wrapped and squished and when you first unwrap it it looks horrible. I was going to return it and actually ordered a different one. I let it sit for a day or two, gave it a little touch up trim around the face and blow dried it a few seconds as suggested... Then - voila! A gorgeous stuffy with a realistic expression. But if you're not comfortable "fixing" it up, is pass on this one.

This may be hard to read, so warning for you - I lost my girl in December and have been missing her so much. She was my constant companion. So when I saw this puppy on here, I had to have her. It was like seeing my girl all over again. It was the coloring, size and most of all, the expressive eyes, just like my girl's. It came quickly and when I carried her around the house, I scared people who thought I was carrying a real dog!!! My girl is gone, but I have found a great friend in this. I know it's creepy, but it helps me. Also important to know, not only is the quality great, but when I got her out of the package, there was none of that musty smell to get rid of before enjoying. Really, even if you don't have a dog that looks like this, this would be a great present for any dog lover. (I tried to add a photo so you could see how close to lifelike this is, but Amazon's website is locking on me so please just trust me on this)

This puppy came in a round piece of plastic tight around the dog. The dog was totally deformed and squished into a ball. Shame on this company. Did not even look like a dogs face. More like a cat. So disappointed!

It looks much cuter then the vacuumed sealed pouch it came in. Not great quality.
