This is a TY 1999 Dotty Dalmation Dog Beanie Buddy, a 12" plush toy that is incredibly soft to the touch. It features a heart-shaped tush tag and is part of the original Beanie Babies collection. The toy is recommended for children aged 3 and above and was made in China. The Dotty toy is a retired item and is a great addition to any TY Beanie Buddy collection.
