Summary
A wooden pull-along toy sausage dog manufactured by Fisher-Price together with its original colour printed cardboard box (circa 1982). The box is illustrated with photographs of the toy and children playing with the toy. There is a colour printed paper catalogue of other Fisher Price toys. The dog has a wooden body and head covered with colour printed paper to imitate eyes, nose and fur. There are 2 moulded brown plastic ears. Each swivels on a rivet. The tail is formed by a metal spring ending in a green plastic knob. The dog is supported on 4 revolving red plastic wheels. There is a length of red string stapled to the dog's mouth. On one end is a yellow wooden shoe, and on the other is a loop, enabling it to be pulled along. When the dog is pulled along, the axle on the front wheels operates a clicking mechanism. Total number of items is three
