A red plastic platform, rectangular with wavy ends, on yellow plastic wheels linked by metal axles.The front leftside wheel has a black rubber ring round it. The front axle has a kink to which is attached a shaft of yellow plastic. This passes through a slit in the platform and forms a horizontal bar with two circular ends. This moves up and down as the truck moves along. Fixed to the front of the platform is a yellow plastic bowl containing a fixed white plastic bone. Towards the rear of the platform are fixed two pieces of furry velcro. (When the soft toy Spot, B.232-2000 is placed on the platform and is attached by means of the velcro, the two front paws sit on the bar and when the truck is in motion Spot moves up and down). There are two compartments on either side of the platform into which fit two identical yellow plastic drawers. One contains a blue plastic brush, the other a blue plastic ring.
