A classic among childhood toys is the Teddy Bear, who made his
appearance in 1903 and is still popular today. Although the Teddy Bear may be
famous because of his political affiliation (he was named after Theodore
Roosevelt), just about any stuffed toy can become a child's favorite. Especially
for infants and toddlers, there's great comfort and reassurance in having soft,
cuddly companions like stuffed dogs to snuggle up with.
As surely as children play with toys, their needs and interests
change as they grow and mature. As a child matures, a stuffed toy may come to
represent a favorite animal in nature. Toy stuffed dogs might be huggable
versions of media characters like a cartoon or comic strip dog ("Snoopy",
"Scooby Doo", "Blues Clues", etc.). Finally, stuffed dogs can play the role of
imaginary family pets.
