I received the toy dog as a birthday gift from a friend in San Antonio. The character is from the movie UP . The dog in the movie talks. In the middle of a conversation, if a squirrel runs by, the dog says, "Squirrel" and then runs off to chase the squirrel. After doing so, he then comes back and finishes his conversation. (I do that ALL the time!) Now, when my thoughts go side track of the focus of the conversation, I will say "squirrel" and then follow the bunny trail conversation. The dog doesn't say the word "squirrel" which would have made the gift even better.

Nonetheless, Little Fred calls the dog "puppy" and NyCee just wants to strap the dog into the seat belt with her while riding in the car. Her philosophy: "everyone has to have a seat belt in the car."
