The newest addition to the FurReal Friends Range is Cookie My Playful Pup. This incredibly cute puppy has voice recognition software installed so she picks up her owner’s voice commands. She will move her head in reaction to wherever she is rubbed. As an example, if you stroke her on the right side of her neck, she will turn to nuzzle into your hand. The FurReal Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup was pretty cute, but this Cookie is even more adorable. If your children are animal lovers they are going to go crazy over this gift.
In fact, preliminary reviewers have indicated it is the ideal present for those kids who would love a real dog but, for whatever reason, just can’t have one. Amazon.com has even suggested this may be the top toy for Christmas 2011.
FurReal Friends Cookie My Playful Pup is much less expensive than Lovin Pup was since it is retailing for just under $60. This FurReal friend is also a good deal softer and makes a lot of really cute sounds. As with the other FurReal Friends, she is absolutely adorable to look at. She is pure white with big black eyes, a black button nose and little red tongue. She “chews” her biscuit and puts it back in your hand.
Fur Real Friends Cookie My Playful Pup features are described here:
- Cookie responds instantly when you say something to her as if you are having a conversation. The voice recogniton sensors are located in parts of her cheeks, back and head and when she recognizes a voice, she answers in a heart beat.
- You can offer her a squeaky toy shaped like a bone. She will automatically open her mouth and then makes sounds as if she is really chewing it.
- Fur Real Friends Cookie My Playful Pup is about 14 inches high and not as heavy as you might expect. She is light enough to be carried around, which can be seen on TV. Additionally, she is also extremely durable and is recommended for kids who are 4 years and older.
- You can make her this puppy sit up or lie down, depending on how you position her front legs. She can even roll over if you like, too.
- If you touch her back, she will start barking and wagging her tail.
- The internal sensors are delicate enough that you might forget she is a toy, at times. Based on where you touch her, she will bark, wag her tail, or turn her head toward you while making puppy noises. These movements and behaviors are really quite realistic.

- As a caution, you may want to turn her off at night. The sensors will continue to pick up sounds and motions within her range, and you won’t want her to start barking.
- Four C batteries are required for the features to take effect. These are included in the package.
