Original Pleasant Company Bennett - Grade D:
For as nice as the American Girl collection is, AG pets have always left a lot to be desired. Bennett the dog is no exception.
Cute is often a word used to describe puppies, but it doesn’t describe Bennett. He has a scary, angular, rodant-looking face, with amber eyes and a red, felt mouth.
Originally, Bennett was made of real, white rabbit fur with painted/dyed? dark spots. Over the years, the spots on my Bennett (Purchased in 1989/1990) have faded and are a light yellow in some places. One thing that has always bothered me about Bennett is his distinct seams. They look really odd in person. Also, the original Bennett is not very sturdy and tips over with the slightest vibration (even on a flat solid surface). Molly spends most of her time dragging a ‘dead dog’.
The original Bennett has a plastic collar and leash with no dog tags. The leash and collar are not removable.
