My mother got this dog for my baby before he was born. Making it available in a 3-pack is wise, as we are looking to buy an extra one or two to have on hand. Our "Puppy" is a great comfort to our baby, who is now 6 months old. He loves to touch Puppy against his cheek, and chew on his face and ears. The lovey is easy for him to grab and hold. Puppy has gone through the washer and dryer multiple times without ill effects. He has no buttons or details that could be choke hazards- all his features are tightly sewn on and safe.
