Aurora - Hand Puppet - 10 Garth Dog

I did not think i would still be playing with this a year later, but my dog still loves it and it still had not torn yet! No tears despite major tug-of-war between my dog and I almost everyday. He loves fighting with this thing and provides just enough protection for my hand. He never gets tired of it. I cant believe how durable and well made this puppy puppet is.

My 12 month old LOVES this puppet! I bought it when she was 10 months and she immediately loved it and gets excited when I take it out to play. It fits easily on an adults hand and the eyes and nose seem securely attached so I dont have to worry about them being a choking hazard when she inevitably takes the puppet from me and plays with it/puts it in her mouth. I have hand washed it but it took a long time to dry. I wish I could throw it in the washing machine/dryer to clean but I havent yet because Im worried it would ruin it. Ill probably get one or two other animal puppets like this, but not the giraffe because that thing looks disturbing.

Ended up returning because your fingers can’t go all the way to the end of the paws. We have the aurora squirrel and it does allow you to have full control all the way to the tips of the paws. Minor imperfections in the fur

This puppet is so soft and cute it has a mouth that moves easily. Adult hand fits inside. I found that grasping the bottom around the wrist helps to keep the puppet on your hand while moving the mouth. When moving the mouth it tends to slip out from your fingers a little so this helps you to keep a grip on it. Think this is a good price and a great puppet. Nice that an adult can use because most little kids want an adult to make the puppet work for them. Sure this will be a wonderful gift for our five year old. Plan to buy another one from this company.

This is a great puppet. My hand fits in it and is able to move the mouth.

This toy is great and a favorite for my toddler. He loves that he can use it as a puppet or treat it like all his other stuffed animals. Even with over 10 other stuffed “buddies” already sleeping in his bed, this one quickly became a favorite and preferred over most others. I am very happy with the purchase and will probably purchase another character for my youngest.

This puppet is great, only compliant I may have is that the eyes bulge a bit, but I’m not using this for my dog so that hopefully won’t be a problem

UPDATE: Oh, the poor little Bandit! Bandit has been Bingos security blanket, humping companion, BFF, and only other dog in the house until we got a real-live lifewire little dog, Doobie, who is a Jack Chi. Doobie is one high-energy chewing fool. Doobie has gotten up inside of Bandit and pulled his guts out of his butt and also chewed his eyes out, leaving holes. Bingo is not happy and so is trying to tug his dear Bandit away from Doobie, so I knew Bandit was not going to be long for the world. I ordered a new Bandit for Bingo, and he is thrilled, but Im going to have to put him up until Doobie is over his puppy stage. But this Bandit racoon puppet is a fantastic purchase for a little dog. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Move over Gator. Hit the box, Fox. Bandit has arrived. Our 10-week-old Chiweenie puppy wants to bite-shake play, and even though hes careful not to be too vicious with DHs hand, he was breaking the skin. I got this puppet as a way to protect us from those sharp little puppy teeth. Bingo went nuts for Bandit, and we did, too. On my hand, I dont like the fit on my thumb, which tends to slide out of the arm, but it seems to be fine on DHs larger hand. I just lift Bandit by the back and march him up and down, and the puppet is floppy enough, but also firm enough, to seem like a living critter. I cant emphasize enough how nice the contrast between his nose and white snout is. When we say bite his nose, he goes right for that little black nose. The nose and the eyes are sewn in very well so I dont worry so much about our dog pulling them off and choking them. Another thing really nice about this puppet is that it has some movement to it even when we are not assisting him in playing with it. He will pick it up and shake it, carry it around like its his prize possession (which is funny, because its bigger than he is), and put it in his room (a small rug) with his collection of squirrels and such. UPDATE: Oh, Bandit is such a hit! Bingo sleeps with Bandit, pees on Bandit, madly humps Bandit, chases him all over the house when we throw him, carries him proudly to show Bingo too in the mirror, jumps up into the back of the loveseat in the living room with Bandit so Bandit can look out the window with Bingo at the neighbors passing by. Bandit has had to go in the washing machine quite a few times now, and with vicious chiweenie tug-of-war play, poor Bandits scalp is starting to come unsewn. I can sew him up by hand and hell be fine, but Im already thinking Id better get another Bandit to have on hand for when Bingos BFF is in complete shreds! Bandit has shrunk some with washing, so its hard to get a large adult hand into him, but hes still more than doing his job. He and Bingo now are about the same size. Bingos eight months old and seven pounds.

i bought it as a puppet to play with my mini schnauzer puppy. It would never work for that. There is hardly any room in the puppet for my hand. It is just another toy laying around with all the rest
