Some Lovin
Top Toy for 2008 is FurReal Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup
I love animals and have had a pet for as long as I can remember. 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 adorable toy dog is the newest addition to the Fur Real Friends line of toys. This engaging and interactive toy pet is ready to keep your child busy for hours without any special setup required. Biscuit comes complete with collar and tag, dog bone, brush and adoption certificate. He comes programmed with behaviors such as nods, whimpers, barks and tail wagging – all of which are very realistic.
And just like a real dog, Biscuit is able to recognize your child’s voice and execute six commands that include speak, sit and lie down. He also knows how to shake hands when asked, which I think is the cutest trick that he knows. My newphew likes when Biscuit sits up and begs the best of all of his tricks.
Things to Think About
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. Biscuit is nearly two feet high. While most kids will enjoy the fact that is he a large size, this toy will 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
You may be wondering how Biscuit knows to interact with your child. It’s all in his nine sensors. For example, if you touch his left paw he will raise it to shake hands with you. To get Biscuit to bark simply give him the command “speak.” And if something is waved in front of the sensor in his forehead, he will respond by flinching, sneezing or blinking.
Biscuit My Lovin Pup will choose various interaction modes based upon how much interaction he is receiving. 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. After a further period of non-interaction, he will lay down and go into sleep mode.
With his sophisticated sensors and realistic behaviors, it’s easy to understand why Biscuit is widely recognized as the most innovative toy of the year. With both sounds and movements that are true-to-life, FurReal Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup is sure to become your child’s new best friend.
