70's Mattel NAPPER TAN Talking DOG I'm Lonely, Ruff, Ruff

We have a mailing list of people looking for this dog from their childhood.

I’m looking for a 70’s Napper the talking dog made by Mattel that is still in working condition. He would say phrases such as ”I’m lonely”, ”Ruff, Ruff, Ruff”, and some others.

I was given Napper when I was very young. Napper went everywhere with me during my early childhood. We had a house fire when I was 7 or 8, and I would love to find a Napper to give to my son…any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Steve

I too am looking for Napper. It is amazing how dear, and comforting this little dog was to so many! My daughter is 30, and still misses him. Mattel is missing an opportunity – They should bring him back. I have been looking for three years. with no luck. Can’t even find something similar. I made the mistake of discarding him because the voice mechanism wore out. I don’t think she has ever completely forgiven me. I would really like to replace him. Her little girl is 3 yrs old, and it would be so perfect.
