This Dog Will Never Poop, Pee, or Bark

Posted by Alex in Animal, Arts & Crafts, Pictures on April 7, 2008 at 3:35 pm


That’s a photo of Dutchess, a "darling Bichon Frise puppy dog" that is guaranteed not to poop or pee anywhere, bark annoyingly, or tear out your couch or anything bad like that.

And that’s because Dutchess isn’t real: she’s a creation of Mary Holstad, who specializes in making realistic dog dolls out of mohair. rom Dutchess’ eBay auction:

She is 11.5 inches long not counting her tail. When standing on all fours, she measures 11 inches tall from the floor to the top of her head. She is a "ONE OF A KIND" , as there is so much detail work involved in each dog no two would ever come out the same. I made her from Schulte mohair with a hand-embroidered lacquered nose, and premium glass eyes. Dutchess’s face and feet have been meticulously hand-trimmed and she has hand-embroidered claws and painted toes. She is fully 5 way jointed, has sturdy armatures for posing and is stuffed with polyfill and plastic pellets for a nice weight.

    I’d rather have a robot dog. You can set it so it won’t poop, pee, or bark. But there is a slight chance it may rebel and vaporize its owners with its laser eyes.

    That’s freakily real… it’s like the crazy women who collect plastic babies which look identical to the real thing…
    I suppose this is more socially acceptable though, as a toy for a child whose parents can’t keep a dog.

    Wow, I never would’ve guessed that it wasn’t a real dog if I hadn’t kept reading.

    Realistic at a glance, but it falls into the uncanny valley if you look at it too long.
