Pepe Pull Along

Everyone in my family loves this walk along, waggy-tailed pull puppy! I bought Hape Walk- a- long Puppy for my then 1 year old son's birthday thinking his 2 older sisters wouldn't want to play with this "baby toy". I usually like to buy versitile toys that will grow up well and have play appeal with all 3 kiddos. I also TRY and stay away from battery powered toys because..just so many reasons - endless $$$, the inevitable drama that ensues when batteries die, annoying glitches, battery acid corosion, can't leave them outside if it rains, no bathtime play usually, etc.Nonetheless, thinking that my babe might not get a ton of mileage out of this one, it looked so darn cute, my husband approved (he's extremely anti-bleeping/noisy toys) and my kids are always trying to drag something long behind them - rolling baggage, long ribbons, each other. Should have known. I was so wrong! My now 23 month, 3 and 5 year olds have all been *ahem* 'taking turns' almost every day for the past year, walking this cute-n-happy lil' guy around the house and outside. (Pup is made out of wood and is probably not designed to be an outdoor toy, just a heads up.)It's a simple, cute, well designed, classic wooden toy that apparently doesn't ever get old. My grandma probably had one of these kinds of toys back in the horse-n-buggy days. Of course, her father probably whittled her pulltoy himself from some leftover scrap wood and haybail twine laying around the farm, maybe taking weeks to finish. Kinda sounds like a lot of work..the olden days must have been like, so hard without Amazon Prime.Anyway, this is a Hape wooden toy so it's crafted quite well, anything but scrappy and it took just 2 days to get to our home with Amazon Prime..which is freaking awesome! It arrived packaged nicely, tucked away in an openface cardboard box that wasn't too difficult to unwrap. So, when gifting this to your child, they will be able to touch it immediately after unwrapping, though may need a little help removing their new pup completely. Parents will have to help those with tinier, less dexterious hands, so be prepared with your Swiss Army knife, Kraftsman, machete or whatever. There's a bit of a glossy finish to the wooden parts which are painted quite nicely with orange spots and orange ears. Light-colored, natural wood shows through beautifully where it's not orange, so it's anything but an eyesore. The red pull string is thin, ropey, not too long, not too short in my opinion. My 5 year old is super tall for her age and manages to take Hape Pup for walks easily, without crouching down to keep it rolling flat on the ground. Just as much fun and possibly played with more often than my kids' various robotic pets. Go figure.Best part - no batteries required, yet it still moves all around, kind of like a puppet on a string only the entire house is the stage. You can sit him up so he 'begs for treats', lay him down on his back to 'play dead', make his head nod up and down while he 'drinks from his doggie bowl'. Plus, his tail wags as he gets pulled along, which is my favorite feature. I will definitely be purchasing more Hape pull along toys this Christmas and/or for my January beebee's 2nd bday. Thinking the crocodile and duck with floppy feet next.

Super cute toy! I love it. The back wheels are purposefully wonky so that it makes the dog's butt wiggle and his tail wag as he rolls around the floor. Its cute in person and the design is very impressive. It's a simple wood toy but the design is really good so the dog can scoot in the back legs, sit up - I love how the ears slide forward when the head is down so it looks like he's sniffing the ground, but then slide back as he looks up. Just really well made. So I love it.My 1 year old has mixed feelings, lol. She loves when I move it in all the cute ways but I think she gets frustrated that he flops over sideways when she pulls the string. I think it'll be a toy that grows on her as she gets more and better mobility. Probably great for 2yrs+

Cute little puppy. I find the string length appropriate for my 3 year olds. It’s easy to pull and there is no noise when you pull it, but it does bob along which makes him wag his tail. Safely made, durable, and so cute!

I bought this pull-along dog for my daughter when she was about 18 months old. She has lovingly named it Fio and continues to play with it now at age 5. Fio has been featured in our family photos because she won’t part with him and he still goes on walks with us. He’s incredibly durable, has lasted longer than any other toy, and still holds the same allure as on day one. I highly recommend!

It is a cute toy and looks well made. The little tail wags. I gave it four stars only because it isn't brightly painted which is a very little fault. It's not faded, but it wood tone with ears and tail and nose that are red. It will be a fun toy, a bit different than the stack toys that make music that are popular now.

This was one of the gifts I got for my grandson's first birthday and it was a hit with him and my granddaughter who is only 13 months older. He ignores the string and pushes it around while on the floor playing. She likes the string and pulls it behind her wherever she goes.

Bought this “puppy” as part of my grandson’s 1-year old birthday present! He loves it!! Didn’t take him long to get the hang of picking up the string and walking “Pepe” around the downstairs of the house. It is a sturdy wooden toy, and very cute the way the pieces move, including the tail that wags! Great goft!

Baby absolutely loves it! Very well made, the wagging tail is absolutely adorable. Very interactive as well. And we have dogs 😅

Inizio con il dire che sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto e che ricomprerei questo prodotto.Cagnolino in legno con cordono per essere portato in giro. Le ruote girano bene e la coda durante l’utilizzo è in movimento. Davvero carino. Ciclicamente su usato prodotto ci sono offerte m, quindi monitorate il presso se non avete fretta.Il prodotto è fatto bene e ha tutta l’impressione di poter durare molto nel tempo. Oltre alla classica posisizione vemtre a terra il cagnolino può essere messo in posizione seduta. Riassumendo credo proprio possa essere considerato per i bambini un PRODOTTO CHE PIACE

My one year old niece loves playing with this toy and it is good value and sustainably made.
