Most kids want a dog at some point during their childhood. Yet for some families, that’s just not possible. If it’s getting harder to say no to your child’s request for a pet, then Fur Real Friends Biscuit, My Lovin Pup by Hasbro may just be the perfect gift idea.

This cute, plush animal is a newcomer to the FurReal Friends product line of toy pets. Fully interactive, it is ready to amaze and entertain your child right out of the box. Biscuit comes with a collar, tag, brush, dog bone and adoption certificate. He nods, whimpers, barks, wags his tail and more and is very convincing with his mannerisms.

For even more realism, Biscuit is capable of recognizing your child’s voice and knows six commands including sit, speak and lie down. Undoubtedly the cutest trick this very smart pooch is able to perform is to shake hands on command. The sit up and beg trick is adorable as well.

What You Need to Know about Biscuit

There is no doubt that Fur Real Friends Biscuit is an appealing toy with pleading eyes and a coat that is soft to the touch. At nearly two feet in height, this oversized plush toy may be difficult for smaller children to carry around. This doesn’t mean a small child won’t fully enjoy this interactive pet, but this is certainly something to think about. Also, when you give this toy to your child, be sure that you have 6 D-sized batteries on hand since they are not included in the package.

Biscuit’s Innovative Technology

Nine sensors help Biscuit to interact with a child based on movement, touch and voice. For example, if you touch his left paw he will raise it to shake hands with you. If he hears the command to speak, Biscuit will give a realistic bark in response. He will even responsd by flinching or blinking if something is waved in front of him due to a sensor in his forehead.

Biscuit My Lovin’ Pup is also able to switch to different interactive modes based on how much attention he is getting. After a short while of not being interacted with, Biscuit enters “hangout” mode where he will do some cute behaviors to try to grab your attention. If he doesn’t receive some attention for a determined amount of time, he will next lay down and go to sleep.

It’s easy to see why this sophisticated toy is thought to be the most innovative toy of the year. With movements and sounds that are both life-like and realistic, Fur Real Friends Biscuit, My Lovin’ Pup is sure to delight and entertain your child for a long time to come.
