This fun little toy will keep your child busy for hours! The food and water come out of the dishes so the child can pretend to feed their puppy. The collars can be changed since they are removable.

-This pattern includes instructions for a Beagle, a Plain Dog as well as Accessories. It is 18 pages long including a title page with table of contents, pattern information, written directions for the Beagle, a chart for the Beagle, directions for the Plain Dog, directions for the Accessories and abbreviations. The pages are numbered and the pattern is formatted so that you don’t have to print the whole pattern, you can just print the sections you want to use.
