My dd has had a special toy since she was 6 months old. She is now nearly five and shows no sign of dropping it - she needs to take it whenever she goes somewhere new and whenever she goes to sleep. It is a cream and brown spotty dog made by the Manhattan Toy Company. It is about six inches long and plush but not furry. The body is cream with brown ears and there are brown spots over one eye, on the leg and body. It has a tartany ribbon round the neck. Her dog (called Puppy - we're not imaginative in this house!) is now falling apart due to too much love. There are holes appearing at the seams and the material is so worn that my attempts to repair it are making it worse.
Does anyone have the same dog that their child doesn't want? Ours was bought at a Daisy and Tom store in London but I know that Trotters also stocked it and some more boutiquey gift places in Chiswick. I think it was pretty widely available at the time, though. I even saw one in a store in Australia but didn't buy a spare!!!!!!!! Please, please, please can someone help me track down another dog? Any help greatly appreciated.
