Not Ready for a Puppy? How About a Pucci Pup Instead?

Is your little girl begging you for a puppy but you don't think she's ready for the big responsibility? And really, are you ready to take over doggie duty when she realizes just how much poop is involved?

How about buying some time with this Pucci Pup Play Set that comes with a cuddly dog, swanky dog carrier, and a few other doggie accessories? It's a cute toy that you can use to help teach your daughter about what it takes to own a dog, and it's also fun for pretend play and dress up.

But you know what? I can easily see how some folks might be turned off by this kids' toy, thinking that it doesn't really teach kids anything except that pets are just another fashion accessory. Thanks a lot Paris Hilton! What do you think?
