I received this as a gift for the birth of a baby. The mother dog has a music box inside its belly, and the music box plays when you pull the string. It's a towel-textured stuffed animal, fluffy and pleasant to the touch. When the baby was young, I would play the music box, and the child would react to the sound and touch the stuffed animal. After the baby stopped using it, I kept it stored at home. I have washed the stuffed animal for this listing. However, if you look closely at the mother dog's tail, there is a small stain. I have included a photo, but it's not very noticeable. Also, although I have taken care of it, please consider that it is a used item before you purchase it. Type: Stuffed animal maker
