FurReal Friends Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet Review

Does your child love dogs and wish she had one of her very own? Now she can! The FurReal Friends Get Up & GoGo My Walkin’ Pup Pet is a lifelike plush dog that interacts with you and acts like a real dog. It is expected to be so sought-after that Kmart has included it on their 2014 Fab15 hot toy list and WalMart has included it on their 2014 Holiday Toy list.

You can take her for a walk on her special leash- just click the button on her leash controller and watch her strut her stuff. Press and hold the button to keep her walking alongside you. When it's time to stop, just pet her on the head and she'll sit like a good girl until you're ready to play again.

When you talk to her, she talks back with her cute little puppy sounds. You know she's ready for her walk when she sits down and holds her leash in her mouth. She'll even wag her tail and bark when you play with her. 

There are free apps that you can use to interact more and play games with her, too. Just have her sit next to you with your own tablet computer or other mobile device pointed toward her. In one of the apps, she responds to bubbles and a hair dryer. In another, you can feed her different treats and see which ones she likes best. In yet another, you can give the dog a bath.

Other apps let you play with her in different ways and also get to know some of her FurReal Friends better, including Cuddles My Giggly Monkey, Pom Pom My Baby Panda, and Butterscotch My Walkin' Pony. Her seven pet friends will even put on a music performance for you!

4 "C" size batteries are required (they're not included, though). The pup shuts off automatically when not in use to help preserve battery life.

This toy puppy is a great tool to help your child learn about responsibility and how to take care of a real, live pet when that time comes. Until then, this friendly, lifelike pooch will be a great companion and friend for your little one. 

Parents who bought the Pup Pet have said that the toy is sturdy and durable. One mom said that her daughter loves taking it for walks, and plays for it for hours on end. Another said her daughter has played with it every day since she got it, and that she loves to clap to make the dog walk to her. 

Younger kids in particular seem to positively delight in this adorable little puppy. It's made for children ages four and up.

The FurReal Friends Get Up & GoGo My Walkin' Pup Pet is expected to be on lots of children's wish lists this Christmas, so make sure you order yours before they all disappear!
