Wouldn't it be cute if they made little puppies to go along with this? She is quite well-made, sturdy and not too bright white. Our 2-yr old loves dragging "horsie" around, so we've taught him to make sure she has socks on before they go for a walk around on the hardwood floors. He seems to enjoy practicing his parenting skills while putting the socks on - even telling her "ok, now your left foot...." Great contemporary/minimalist footstool, conversation piece, toy or space-filler.
