The swim puppy is completely adoarble with its pouty, cartoonish eyes, floppy ears and perky little tail, the The Rescue Pets swim swim puppy is practically irresistible. However, it's much more than a just pretty face: this innovative battery-operated puppy not only walks by itself, but it also starts to swim when you put it in water. This fun toy provides plenty of opportunity for imaginative fun for kids aged 3 and up.

The swim to me puppy has a hard, hollow plastic body and head, with floppy rubber ears. While its hard shape is not terribly cuddly, it's perfect for the water. It requires 3 AAA batteries, and you'll need a smaller-sized Phillips screwdriver to install them.

Once the batteries were in, we found it easy enough to make the puppy walk. With an easy operation heart-shaped its legs start to move, then set it on the ground. The puppy wobbles along at a slow, walking over flat smooth surfaces as well as softer surfaces, such as a rug or sofa, although some bumps can sometimes make it lose its balance.

Swim To Me Puppy

The great playtime toy has two very small sensors on his chest which detect the presence of water. To get it to "swim," immerse the sensors in water, and its legs will start to move. Although the toy's instructions say that the dog will start to "doggy paddle," it simply just makes the same walking movements it does when "on land." But that doesn't detract from the fun -- the puppy will float in the water, and its leg movements propel it through the water at a steady, if somewhat slow, pace. We found that certain adjustments helped keep the puppy floating upright: first make sure that the water is deep enough so that it's actually floating, rather than simply walking on the bottom of the bathtub. For best results, submerge the puppy's body until bubbles stop forming, to fill him with water and help it balance better. Otherwise it will tip too far forward. And it's best to position it with its face halfway submerged, so it does not tip back too far. If you attend to these details, the rescue pals swim to me puppy will "swim" as far as you'll let it.

Of course, if your child is playing in a bathtub, the puppy won't get very far. And while the toy's instructions indicate that the puppy is not recommended for use outside, we think its swimming action would be a lot more fun in a body of water larger than your standard tub. Be sure that children have constant adult supervision when playing in or near any water, indoors or out.
