An unjointed soft toy dog in a lying position with all four legs splayed out. Its outer plush covering is very short. It is an beige colour with areas of dark brown. The ears are brown and floppy - they have no filling. The nose is brown plastic and the eyes black and white plastic with brown painted on lids. There are clumps of brown thread sewn onto the face perhaps to denote whiskers. There is a short tail which forms part of the whole body. A white label with printed black text is sewn into the bottom seam. There is an embroidered design of a dog's head and paws resting on a bone outline with the letters PP in red inside. The stuffing is very soft.
