Searching - DAKIN DROOPER ORANGE DOG - puppy chewed it up
My dad gave my mom an orange dog back in the early to mid 70's. "Orange Dog" was given to me as a baby in 77. "OD" was chewed up by my dog when she was a puppy. All I have left is an orange shell, full of holes.
One of our wonderfully helpful readers, Cat Jane, emailed me to tell me that Orange Dog is a DAKIN DROOPER. I emailed Kelley to be sure, and she says it's the right dog. The photo I have added was for a smaller version of the same OD.
Description: Orange Dog is a little less than 12 inches long. His head was stuffed firmly and the rest of his body and individual feet had abean like materialnut shells in them (brown square like mini granules, unlike the white/clear circle ones today). His ears are brown and eyes were plastic and almost human like. I believe he had a ball like nose, though I apparently chewed it off as a baby.
My dad remembers buying Orange Dog in Chicago on his way home from a business trip anywhere in the time frame of 1972-1975 ish.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....I'd love to repair my destroyed orange dog, or have another to pass along to my children.
Thanks,
Kelly
