One Dirty Dog

Apr 7, 2009   //   Foto  //  Comments Off

Foto, the prototype stuffed dog and mascot extraordinaire of Dog Meets World has now traveled to Guatemala and Haiti and been handled by hundreds and hundreds of children, been dropped on the ground, etc. Foto had become a black & gray dog! The manufacturer assured me that Foto is washable, but my past experience cleaning other plush toys has resulted in discolorations. So with trepidation I plunged little Foto into sudsy water and tada…….clean again with bright white fur! Obviously Mentor International makes a very durable product, which is fabulous considering all the places Foto will go to fetch photos!
