Short Take: FurReal Friends Tumbles My Roll Over Pup

My kids really want a dog, but we can't have one where we live right now. When the very realistic looking FurReal pets hit the market my little girl was immediately interested since we don't have a puppy. The one she has asked for most is called the FurReal Friends Tumbles My Roll Over Pup.

The toy dog looks like a beagle and is interactive. If you rub his tummy, he will wiggle and squirm around like a real dog (only without the fleas). Pet the pup for a while and he will fall fast asleep. Squeeze the dogs left paw and the dog barks and rolls over. That’s about the realm of interactivity with this pup. That might not seem like much but my little girl adores the puppy and totes it around with her all over the house.

Verdict: Tumbles the pup is interactive like a real puppy without all the nighttime whining, pooping, and peeing. This is a Great gift for kids who like animals.
