FurReal Biscuit My Lovin Pup is a Child’s Best Friend

November 25th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Tips

Most kids want a dog at some point during their childhood. However, there are many families who aren’t able to have a pet and often for very good reasons. If it’s getting harder to say no to your child’s request for a pet, then Fur Real Friends Biscuit, My Lovin Pup by Hasbro may just be the perfect gift idea.

The adorable Biscuit is a new addition to the FurReal Friends line of toys. This engaging and interactive toy pet is ready to keep your child busy for hours without any special setup required. Biscuit comes complete with collar and tag, dog bone, brush and adoption certificate. He comes programmed with behaviors such as nods, whimpers, barks and tail wagging – all of which are very realistic.

And just like a real dog, Biscuit is able to recognize your child’s voice and execute six commands that include speak, sit and lie down. I think one of the cutest tricks is when Biscuit shakes hands on demand. My newphew likes when Biscuit sits up and begs the best of all of his tricks.

A Few Considerations

Fur Real Friends Biscuit has a soft coat and pleading eyes. Biscuit is nearly two feet high. While most kids will enjoy the fact that is he a large size, this toy will be difficult for smaller children to carry around. Most small children can still enjoy having Biscuit as a pet, but you should be prepared to do most of the moving of Biscuit for your child. Also, when you give this toy to your child, be sure that you have 6 D-sized batteries on hand since they are not included in the package.

Biscuit and How He Works

You may be wondering how Biscuit knows to interact with your child. It’s all in his nine sensors. For example, if you touch his left paw he will raise it to shake hands with you. If he hears the command to speak, Biscuit will give a realistic bark in response. And if something is waved in front of the sensor in his forehead, he will respond by flinching, sneezing or blinking.

Biscuit My Lovin’ Pup is also able to switch to different interactive modes based on how much attention he is getting. After a short while of not being interacted with, Biscuit enters “hangout” mode where he will do some cute behaviors to try to grab your attention. After a further period of non-interaction, he will lay down and go into sleep mode.

With his many sensors and behaviors, it is not difficult to see why this sophisticated, interactive dog is considered to be one of the most innovative toys of the year. With both sounds and movements that are true-to-life, FurReal Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup is sure to become your child’s new best friend.
