Interactive toy pet for 5 year old?

[Notoutloud]

My nearly-5 year old daughter is desperate for "a dog that walks" for Christmas, but I've no idea which ones are any good - a lot of them look a bit cheap and like they'd last half an hour.

I think she'd compromise on the dog/walking bit for an otherwise cute and interactive pretend pet.

Any recommendations? Budget about £30.

I was going to recommend the Little Live Pets Guinea pig, but saw that she wants a dog and your budget is £30. Not a god, but the FurReal sabretooth kitty is good.

These are great, they do a cat version too.

We have a Marshall from Paw Patrol that creepily rolls around. My 5 and 2yo LOVE it. It is quite clever, as it sets up a little "story" that they can play along with.

Dc3 was 5 last year and we got her Hope the Husky. She doesn’t walk but was a huge hit and still played with (to our surprise). She also received a Furreals dog that walks, it doesn’t walk but you can push it along and remove the lead. It doesn’t do much but she still loves it a year later.

We've got little live pet lambs for kids (almost 5 and almost 2) this year. The older keeps seeing them in shops and begging to bring 'his one' home. They were on sale for less than 20 last month - I've tried them out, they work great! The pig versions don't walk on carpets btw, but the lambs do. They have a bottle, actively feed, burp, dance, walk etc. Not seen a dog equivalent yet.

This one :)

Brilliant, thanks everyone! Some great suggestions.

Things have changed a bit since the hopping/backflipping bunny that was on my Christmas list in the early nineties!
