hi so I had this toy since I was around 3 y/o (so very late 2000s, mainly 2008) and I never knew where this dog came from. I think lost the original while moving into a new house or so, but I know around 2-3 years later I found another one (the one you see in the picture) at a Goodwill in Arizona. btw, the original had 1 eye and 1 leg missing, and the built-in button was broken. but the one I found in Goodwill had both eyes and all legs attached, and the button inside worked (it was barking from what I remembered)

ofc due to time, the eyes popped out and the inside button stopped working. but this has been a burning question in my mind for years, and I still don't know. I tried looking up what this dog might be or from, but nothing comes up. there's not even a company logo or any info like how to wash or smth at all on the tag, so there's that.

idk I'm probably thinking too hard on this, but I just wanna know what any of you guys think.
