Description
Smoochie Pooch is a shaggy, expressive interactive plush dog from Mattel's I Gotta Pet! line, released in 1998. Its oversized floppy ears, large puppy-dog eyes, and extra-long pink tongue give it plenty of personality, and it responds to petting and hugging with a range of puppy sounds and movements.
Features
Smoochie Pooch has tan and brown faux fur and a blue bone-shaped collar. Each hug triggers a different response:
- Hugged once: sniffs
- Hugged again: barks
- Hugged a third time: gives "big sloppy kisses"
- Brushing the top of the head with the collar: happy puppy sounds
- "Try Me!" feature: responds to petting the head

Condition
This is new in its original retail box. The plush appears unused and clean, with its original collar and "Try Me!" tag still attached.
The cardboard display box shows age-related shelf and storage wear, including light scuffing, creasing, edge wear, and some corner wear. The packaging otherwise displays nicely.
As this is a vintage electronic toy from 1998, its electronic functions have not been fully tested.
Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the condition description.
Why Collectors Like It
Smoochie Pooch is a good example of the interactive electronic toys Mattel made in the late 1990s. Its "kissing" feature and playful look make it especially appealing to vintage toy collectors and anyone building a 1990s nostalgia display, particularly when it is still in its original box with the "Try Me!" tag and collar.
