Soft Touch Puppy sitting up purple
Bought in a bargain sale of a toy shop closing down, the shop located in Belgium.

The body itself is a soft orange with lila colored spots and its long ears are, just like they are for all Puppies from Puppy Care, move-able.
Note that whilst for the Puppy Care Puppies their collar is made out of fabric, Soft Touch Puppies have gotten a collar made in imitation leather. Note also that the comb accompanying the Puppy isn't a small comb with the Puppy Care logo on the handle but a much larger purple comb with a heart shape on the handle. Beside this heart shape stand the letters M.T. imprinted. Apart from the comb, the Puppy also has a purple accessory that it can hold in its mouth, namely a partially unrolled roll of toilet paper. On the promotional picture the Puppy however is pictured with a purple shoe ...
