Description
This is a pair to play with: a soft toy sausage dog in a multicoloured striped knitted jumper, and a carry bag made to hold him. The dog has a long, low body, floppy ears, an upturned tail and a rounded nose, and the jumper wraps his middle from collar to hips. The bag is a neat tote with two fabric handles, lined inside with a floral print and cut low at one end so the dog can ride with his head out. Both are made from a soft blend of 70% polyester and 30% cotton, and the maker gives the size as 28cm long, 5cm wide and 15cm tall.
The dog and bag are made to go together, and that is the fun of it: a child can tuck the dog in, pick up the bag by its handles and take him along from room to room. When play is done, the bag hangs from a peg or a hook on the wall with the dog peeping out, which keeps him off the floor and makes a cheerful little scene in a child's room or nursery. The dog sits happily on a shelf beside books and other favourite toys. We think the pair makes a lovely birthday present, because it arrives complete, with nothing more to buy.
The dog has a short, soft pile coat, and his jumper is a fine knit that sits snugly round his body. The bag is a plain woven fabric outside with a printed floral lining, and its handles are stitched along their edges. Polyester holds its shape well, and cotton brings a soft, natural feel. At 0.096KG the pair is light enough for small hands to carry. For a tidy display, hang the bag by both handles from a wall peg so the floral lining shows at the open end and the dog's face looks out into the room.

Frequently Asked
What comes in this set of two?
You get two pieces: the soft toy sausage dog in his knitted jumper, and the floral-lined carry bag he travels in. The styling props shown are not included.
What are the dog and the bag made from?
The set is made from a blend of 70% polyester and 30% cotton, which gives a soft, cuddly feel and a fabric that holds its shape.
How big is it?
The maker gives the size as 28cm long, 5cm wide and 15cm tall, and the pair weighs 0.096KG, so it is very light to carry.
Does the dog fit inside the bag?
Yes. He sits inside with his head out of the low, scooped opening at one end, and the bag carries him by its two handles.
What age is it for?
The maker recommends it from birth. It comes as a matching pair, the dog and his bag, which makes it an easy present to wrap.
