FOUND – Best Made Toys LARGE Floppy PURPLE DOG with BROWN NOSE Top Priority
Thanks to one of our readers, we now know that this is a Best Made Toys dog.
Rebecca needs the PURPLE version of this dog, but if anyone finds it in another color please let us know.
I’m looking for an iridescent, almost shiny in the light, large purple stuffed dog. He is very floppy and has a big brown nose, but not a big pink tongue sticking out (my mistake). He only has a small black smile. The inside of his ears are white, and he also had a big white spot over one eye and a short tail.
Purple puppy was won by my husband at World’s of Fun in a carnival area. It was wearing a tag, but he was a carnival prize, so I don’t believe he was any known brand. I think that may be why we have been unable to find him for sale on eBay. We also look at garage sales for a duplicate and occasionally on Craigslist.
Purple puppy was given to me by my husband on our first date. After my daughter was born it accompanied her everywhere she went. When she was one month old, they discovered her intestines were malrotated, and she had surgery. Purple puppy was kept in her crib at Children’s Mercy Hospital. She does not remember the surgery, but we have pictures, and purple puppy was given a lot of credit by Taylor for “helping her feel better after surgery.”
When Taylor was 3 1/2 years old, she experienced intense stomach cramps, and we returned to the hospital. Somehow, possibly because of the scar tissue from the first surgery, her spleen had turned over in her abdomen and constricted itself. They removed her spleen. Purple puppy was clenched in my daughter’s arms during the entire hospital stay and during her recovery. She contributes her recovery to purple puppy.
Purple puppy is talked about all the time in our house. He was accidentally left in the Holiday Inn Express in Omaha, NE. I called them 3 days after we returned home, hoping he would turn up in our luggage, and they said they had not found him. I called several more times with no avail. Purple puppy has now been missing for over a year.
I did purchase a similar dog on eBay that was brown. But, he has not replaced purple puppy for her. We continually look for a similar dog on eBay.
Any help to replace my 6 year old daughter’s favorite purple plush dog would be extremely appreciated! Any advice as to any websites that would be a good place to search would also be appreciated!
I LOVE your website! And think it is an excellent way to help others who would do anything for their kids.
Thank you for any help,
Rebecca

Hello, Thank you for the ebay reference number. That dog is very close. The one my daughter had was white under his ears and I believe he also had a big white spot over one eye. I showed my daughter the listing and those are the things she added to the description. She also added that he had a short tail and did not believe “Purple puppy” was wearing a collar, or he would have been found by now (=
Thank you so very much for replying. I am going to search for “Purple Doggie” on ebay from now on,also.
Thank you, Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
I just came across your post and immediately recognized the purple puppy as the sister of the one my daughter has. She has the same puppy in blue with a white eye patch, brown nose, shiny fur and white under his ears. She is not ready to part with him because he is a valued member of our family, however, I can give you all the information off his tag.
He is from “Best Made Toys Limited”
120 St. Regis Cresent North
Downsview, Ontario M3J 1Z3
Canada
He was made in China.
I hope this helps you locate a replacement puppy for your daughter. We realize how a stuffed puppy can become a part of a family and will pray for your puppy’s swift return.

Hi Rebecca,
I saw a plush puppy on Ebay today. He is not quite the same as yours (smaller for one thing), but very similar. The number is 320841109337. Maybe this could hold you over til you find the large Best Made Puppy.
Best Wishes,
Elaine
