The iconic toy company, Hasbro, recently expanded its FurReal Friends collection with the introduction of Pax, 'My Poopin' Pup.' As its name suggests, this adorable plush dog was designed to mimic the behavior of a real puppy to help teach children how to care for dogs, from eating to going to the bathroom.
Children can take feed My Poopin' Pup and are then encouraged to take him on a walk by pushing forward on the included leash. When the child pulls back on the leash, Pax will sit and leave behind the "digested" treats, which will then have to be cleaned up. The set is ideal for children 4 years and older and includes the pet, 2-part detachable leash, nine treats, a cleanup bag, and instructions.
Pax the My Poopin' Pup encourages children to take responsibility for their play animals, from feeding to cleaning up after and is a great gift for children aspiring to be pet owners.
