Has your child been begging for a lovable pet? Do you hate the hassle of feeding and maintaining an indoor pet? Don’t you wish there was compromise?! Well now there is! 🙂
FurReal Friends GoGo’s Walkin’ Puppy is a smaller, cheaper version of the GoGo My Walkin Pup ($50). It is a great (under $20) gift for kids and since it is a smaller version I would recommend this toy for children as young as 2!
There is a button on the back of the dog (where you would “pet” him) that makes him walk, bark, pant, and other cute doggy noises.
I didn’t have any problems with him walking on the hard floors, table, carpets, or even the seats in my car. It claims that it walks in a circle and it does walk towards the left. The only problem is it only takes a few steps and then stops. So you must press the button multiple times before it makes a complete circle. The videos I’ve seen show the pups walking for up to 30 seconds but the longest I was able to get him to walk was 3.3 seconds. (Using my stopwatch via iPhone) Huge difference!
Like a real dog, it does shed some. (I told you it was a compromise!) It sheds little white fibers and sometimes even clumps! And I’m surprised it doesn’t come with a brush or cloth leash/collar.
I’m sure this toy will be overlooked in the toy box eventually but for now, we are enjoying having a dog in the house that doesn’t poop or bite!
FurReal Friends Walkin Puppies – White Spaniel (as well as kittens) are available online and in stores for anywhere from $15-$20.
If you’re looking for a dog for older children (5+), I would check out the GoGo My Walkin’ Pup which interacts like a real dog and has a remote controlled leash!

wow thats great. thanks admin.
There’s probably a switch somewhere (normally underneath the dog near the batteries) that changes him from “Demo/Try Me” to “On”. That’s how you would get the dog to do more than just bark and walk 3 steps.
