Goliath Animagic Diggles - interactive cuddly dog, 28 cm

Description

Diggles looks like an ordinary cuddly toy until you touch him. A stroke over the head starts him up: he walks forward, dances along to his own tune and makes cheerful noises while he does it.

That puts him somewhere between a cuddly toy and a pet. Children give him a name, take him for 'walks' down the hall, call him back, and then simply put him next to them in bed afterwards - because he is still soft.

The dog is 28 cm and runs on batteries. The size is practical: he fits in a travel bag and comes along to the grandparents as easily as onto the back seat of the car.

A fitting present for a child who would love a real dog and is not getting one for the time being. This one asks for no walk in the rain, and he sits still the moment you switch him off.
