Running and snuggling miniature puppies

4 Comments

Takara Tomy's new little toy is going to give puppy lovers big smiles. It's a 4-cm-tall miniature puppy-shaped toy called "Jyare Inu", which means snuggling puppies in Japanese.

Four different dog models are available: Chihuahua, Miniature Dachshund, Toy Poodle and Pug. They run and dance around, and if you get lots of them, they will look like they are snuggling each other.

Each model comes with its lead, doghouse, a bowl for its food and a dog food box.

Price: 1,470 yen Battery: button cell x 1

If the dog has a sponge-like body covered in faux fur I would love to get one... I am SO tired of scooping my cat's stinky poop.

Surely jareru is frolicsome or playful, not snuggly?

The picture with the article looks like the toy is fluffy, but the video at the link shows that they are very, very small (easily fit-in-the-hand size) and plastic. They vibrate and the vibrations make it look a bit like they're walking in a funny, playful way. In the second video, there's a whole bunch of them 'playing' together, one gets knocked over and looks like it's having death spasms. Very unfortunate.

Canuck - you could teach your cat to use the proper toilet, then all you need do is flush and chuck a treat. Much more pleasant than dealing with stinky litter boxes.

Litter boxes don't stink if owners change it out enough. Cats are naturally clean and not stinky. Change out the litter to avoid any stenchiness.

Litter boxes don't stink if owners change it out enough.

That's still more work than a simple flush.
