“With my dog, I am brave. I can do tricky things, and I help my dog with new tricks too. We practice and cheer each other on because we’re growing and learning together.”

Everything is better with a buddy by your side. Help a child discover the joy of friendship with this cuddly puppy plush and picture book pair. Read the sweet storybook to explore all the things you can do to be a good friend—from listening to each other and trying new things together to showing kindness and working to understand how the other may feel. Then let your child use the interactive doggie plush as a companion, as they practice the lessons of the storybook. Together, the book and plush create a fun, pet-free dog ownership experience for kids, offering enjoyable ways to learn about friendship and empathy.

This engaging gift set is wonderful for birthdays, holidays, or back-to-school season.
