Just the other day, my son was asking if we could get a new dog in our house. I told him that it may be a while, since we're lacking space in our little apartment. In the meantime, I told him we can get as many stuffed animal dogs as he'd like!
Stuffed animals are an increasingly hot trend on the Web. More and more companies are selling plush toys online and trying to find ways to sell products to their target consumers. Even Wikipedia has a "stuffed animal" entry, citing that the first stuffed toy was created by Steiff in 1880 in Germany. I had no idea they've been around that long... I'm sure kids had other toys to play with before that.
