I did not have time to go around from store to store to try to find a basket, so I bought this one. I read the reviews about the dog in the basket and they are all true. The dog does not look like the picture and is not very cute. When my daughter took out Toto to show our neighbors their comment was ...."oh.."  I could not have found a cuter basket though. It's the perfect size and weight for a 5 year old to carry around. Of course, i was holding it by the end of the night. Great basket, great seller. Thanks.
