This toy has withstood being dragged and dropped for the last couple of months and still looks brand new, so it seems very durable. It has really encouraged her as she's been learning to walk. Besides all that, it is just so darned CUTE!
This is a great toy for 1 year olds learning to walk (or those whom you'd like to inspire to walk!)

This was one of the toys that my grandson received for his first birthday. It was one of the smaller gifts and the last to be opened. I don't think that he let go of the dog for the rest of the day. He got more enjoyment from that dog than the rest of the toys combined. I don't know what the attraction is but he loves that dog.Best Deals for Ambi Max Pull Along - Doggie Pull Toy for Toddlers
My 16-month old likes to pull this little guy around -the "bark" is actually the sound made as the wheels turn, kind of like a loud "clack" sound. Nevertheless, "Max" (as it's called around our house) is something she likes to drag around....in circles. She hasn't quite figured out that she can walk in a straight line with him. But it's fine. As for some saying that the string isn't long enough/tied improperly, we haven't had any problems with it.Honest reviews on Ambi Max Pull Along - Doggie Pull Toy for Toddlers
Pros:great quality, so far hasn't chipped or been dented by my 1 year old
doesn't flip over as much as other pull toys. (we have another one that is made out of wood by Skip Hop that falls over easily)
tail wags and makes clicking noises when pulled (not necessarily barks, but still holds a toddler's attention)
wheels have a rubber covering, preventing it from flipping all the time
colors are bold, doesn't get dirty easily since the plastic is slippery. very easy to wipe clean.
the length of the string was perfect for my 31" tall son. I can understand why some reviewers complain about how short the string is, but I think it's a good length. when the string is too long, a toddler can easily trip on it while pulling it. The chances of strangulation is not as high as tripping.. i think).
not too heavy or too light perfect weight for a pull toy! Some pull toys are too light (flips over too easily) and some are too heavy where the toddler might pick it up and accidentally drop it on his or her foot (some vintage pull toys maybe heavier)
Cons:
no cons so far, i think the string length is perfect for my son's height. I read the description and other reviews a few times before getting it, and nothing was a surprise when i finally did get it.
Overall, keep in mind that:
1) this dog doesn't actually bark (if that is important)
2) take note of the string length, and see if it is suitable for your toddler's height. I can imagine if a taller toddler used this toy, he or she might not be as keen on pulling it.
again, my son's height is 31 inches, and has no problem pulling it with ease.
Also, one of the reviewers were concerned whether or not this pull along toy was BPA free, I found a link online which has listed Ambi Toys as a PVC-Free manufacturer (dated 2010). I also found on other sites indicating that their new line of toys are mostly BPA free:My son doesn't ever chew or bite on this pull along toy so far, and I always clean his toys with gentle detergents (I heard harsh detergents can bring out BPA) so I am not as concerned weather this toy specifically is BPA free or not. I think toys that are meant for chewing or look tempting to chew on should be BPA free, personally, I feel anything that is put in in the mouth should be BPA free. However, since this looks more fun to pull than chew on, I can easily over look it.
