From the first night home, our puppy has loved his Snuggle Puppy! He immediately snuggled up to it his first night and, even though he does still have to get up once or twice to go outside, he happily returns to his crate right away, back to his Snuggle Puppy. I truly believe this product is a godsend to new puppies and their puppy-parents.During the day, he'll drag his Snuggle Puppy out to wherever he's playing or sleeping and keep it close. The Snuggle Puppy is almost bigger than he is, but he manages to drag it anywhere he wants to go. He loves his Snuggle Puppy!
