Searching – 2003 Family Dollar BLUE LYING DOWN DOG Top Priority
This is NOT the correct dog, but it is the closest to the real one as Melodi was able to find.
On Nov. 23rd, 2008, we lost our home and most of our possessions to a fire. Inside was my son’s best buddy “Big Blue”. He was a gift to my son before he was born, but I know he was purchased at a Family Dollar store in 2003. Numerous family members and myself are looking for Blue.
He is about 12-14 inches long, laying down on his belly with his legs out to the side, and, of course, blue in color. A section around his tail is a little darker than the rest of him. He is not the character from the show “Blue’s Clues”.
My son received a “substitute” buddy from a dear friend, but he’s not the same. My son still cries for his best friend. Please help if you can. My son will never forget your kindness, nor will I.
Thank you,
Melodi

From the picture, your tag looks like Animal Alley brand, is this correct? Target & Toys R Us sells this brand, but possible that they donated the overstock to Family Dollar and such.

I thought that, too, Anastasia. But Family Dollar is not an overstock or thrift store. Perhaps they are wrong about it being from Family Dollar. I’ll write them.

Looks like the same plush pattern and design to me. I bet that’s the one, tami. Let’s see if Melodi thinks so too.

Anastasia,
The one in the picture is Animal Alley, but the original was not. This is just a picture of the closest thing I could find that looked like our lost lovie.
Thanks for your help!

Are the eyes stitched on or black plastic? Is the under belly same material as the rest of the body? Plush is solid pastel blue or tie-dye? Thanks for the clarification.

what color is the nose? the ears? Is the dog all the same color except a darker blue around tail? Does it have a rattle or make any noise? Did it come with a collar or ribbon? Are the ears the same length as the one pictured? Was it floppy with beans in it or fabric?

I apologize, Anastasia and Tami, that I didn’t notice that the photo was of one similar to the lost dog, rather than being a photo of the one she needed.

I’m not sure about Family Dollar but I know that Dollar General in Midwest region carries Goffa and KellyToy. Given that, could this Goffa dog in the middle be the one you’re looking for? eBay# 320300293669.
