Product review (4 stars): Better than the real thing... almost.
This plush is cute as can be, for the most part. I combed it's fur to fluff it when it arrived, and it did loose quite a few strands that way, but not anything damaging in any way. Now it's all fluffy, there are only a few flaws in the one I got, and only one of those is probably actually permanent. The fur seemed pretty well determined to stick inward toward the dog's face, but that should (in theory) go away with some coaxing (like leaving it on it's side with that fur pressed back the way it should go). Other flaw was that it had a crooked nose. That is NOT going to go away.

Of course, with pretty much any stuffed animal, you're going to get a few of these flaws. With luck, the ones you get will be only minimally noticeable. The crooked nose would probably be overlooked by many/most... so in the case of the one I got, it's probably not that big of a deal.

In spite of minor flaws, however, this plush is really cute (as it looks in the picture), and a pleasure to add to one's collection. Glad I bought it. And best of all, no vet bills.
