Caption
'Snoopy' is a very popular character across the geenerations, and this little fella is just one example of his many forms.
Summary
A soft toy dog resembling the character 'Snoopy', from the comic strip 'Peanuts'. He is made from white fur fabric with a short tail and long black floppy ears. He is a kind of 'bean bag' toy, stuffed, according to the manufacturer's label (sewn into the seam at the back), with crushed nut shells. He has a black fur fabric nose, black felt eyes and eyebrows, and a mouth embroidered in black thread. He is lying down with his head on one side. Round his neck is a narrow red ribbon tied in a bow.
