Product Description
Hot on the paws of the FurReal Friends cats and kittens comes FurReal Friends Go Go My Walkin' Pup. Special sensors allow this adorable, lifelike pup to respond to your voice commands. Call her, and she'll bark and follow you. You can also groom her, pet her and listen to her bark, pant and make other realistic sound effects. Go Go responds to your touch with natural head, leg and tail movements. She's just like a real puppy. Requires 3 "C" alkaline batteries (not included). Color may vary from item shown.
Editorial Review
While there exist numerous trainable robotic dogs on the marketplace, there's something a little refreshing about a furry mechanical pup that simply does whatever he wants to. Because really, haven't we all met or even owned dogs like that? Once Go-Go is turned on, he moves back and forth on tiny wheels hidden under thick blond fur all the while pivoting at the shoulders and hips to give a more realistic depiction of walking. Go-Go is a noisy little critter as well barking and panting while moving about the floor. While the real dog movements and sounds were lots of fun, such entertainment does come at a price, in this case five "C" batteries. Like a real dog, Go-Go wears a fetching purple bandana but unlike a real dog, Go-Go has an off switch. --Charlie Williams

Kids love having a 'dog', parents love the kids no longer asking for one. Removal from the box was a nightmare. - Reviewed on 2007-07-07
If you're looking for a cuddly stuffed animal, this is not your toy. It's not meant to be, its a robot dog with a fur coat over a machine. My niece loved it, my brother was grateful I got this, the kids had started pestering them for a dog or cat, and this solved that, for the time being. My major beef was the insane high-security packaging...it was an absolute nightmare! I wanted to send it with the batteries in place so it would be ready to go when my niece opened it on her birthday. It had so many wires, staples, binding etc etc, it took literally 45 minutes to remove it from the box, insert the batteries, and replace it in the box. I never got it back in the box properly, and didn't bother with all the wires they had it with originally. Very annoying, what do they think is going to happen to this toy that they had to bind it to the inside of the box with such excessive security measures? Big turn-off, thank God I opened it before mailing the gift and my brother didn't have to deal with it, it would have ruined the fun, because it sure put ME in a rotten mood! And I'm writing this a year later. Maybe I don't have much experience with the new packaging since we don't have kids, but it was a bit over the top. I'm told they haven't put the batteries in since the ones I included died, the barking was a bit annoying after a while. The commands didn't always work either, it was hit or miss. But it was cute enough for the kids to enjoy.
