My daughter had a purple hippo Pillow Pet when she was young and it was a cherished lovey. Years later, our dog discovered it and made it her own. She loved on it, played with it, chewed on it, slept on it, etc. And, much to my despair, it finally wore out and I panicked. I wasn't even sure Pillow Pets were in existence anymore. As usual, Amazon to the rescue. I got the pink pig and the price was amazing. It is just as soft and comfy and adorable and durable as the original. I highly recommend these for kids and fur babies everywhere.
