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

Sunday, November 30th, 2008 by paule

I love animals and have had a pet for as long as I can remember. 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.

This cute, plush animal is a newcomer to the FurReal Friends product line of toy pets. It is fully interactive and is ready to entertain your child for hours straight out of the box. 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.

For even more realism, Biscuit is capable of recognizing your child’s voice and knows six commands including sit, speak and lie down. He also knows how to shake hands when asked, which I think is the cutest trick that he knows. The sit up and beg trick is adorable as well.

Some Considerations When Buying Biscuit

While Fur Real Friends Biscuit is an adorable toy that most children would love to have, here are a couple things you should know. 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.

How Biscuit Works

You may be wondering how Biscuit knows to interact with your child. It’s all in his nine sensors. For example, if Biscuits left paw is touched, he will raise his paw to shake hands with you. To get Biscuit to bark simply give him the command “speak.” 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 will choose various interaction modes based upon how much interaction he is receiving. 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. If he doesn’t receive some attention for a determined amount of time, he will next lay down and go to sleep.

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.
