9. Little Live Pets Ouchies Cooper the Retriever
Cooper is an adorable retriever puppy that needs your care to heal his injured leg. With over 50 sounds and reactions, Ouchies is so interactive - he walks, reacts to your touch, has glowing cheeks and more. When injured, Ouchies limps and whimpers. Transform the puppy carrier into a handy vet tray, then place the splint on puppy's leg, wet the bandages, and wrap them around the splint to make a cast like a real vet. Once dry, you can decorate the cast. | Smyths Toys
