However, its adorable appearance has won over some guests, making it a beloved toy for imaginative play, even if it doesn't fulfill its swimming promise.

Doesn't work and I'm not the only one it seems. Dog only spins tail, all of his legs are flexed back and don't move in water so he sinks.

It’s really cute but it doesn’t really swim. It only wags its tail when it’s in water. I don’t know if that’s normal but we were expecting it to swim a lot more.
Dont buy

Does not work. Do not recommend. The cheaper turtle/frogs they sell in the baby section work much better!

The legs seem like they should move but they don’t. The tail just spins around and it barely goes anywhere. Bummer.
Stopped working after first use.

I don't understand why adults do this to kids. A kid has his $12 allowance and decides to believe what he reads. The package says the dog swims when you wind it up. Nope. That is just a lie designed to get money from children. If you think that sounds dramatic... think about it. Where's the lie? Kids have to learn. The world is full of trickery. Many many people don't really care about you - they don't know you, they don't want to. They just see you as a barrier to what they want.
Dows not swim.

This toy winds up and is supposed to swim in the water, it winds up and does nothing. Floats on its side. Very disappointing for the targeted audience.

The tail is not a very strong propeller, so the dog doesn’t really move anywhere. I got this for my kids to use in the pool but tried it out in the bath first. It barely moved in the bath, so doubt it would survive the pool.
Sadly disappointed.

Doesn’t swim at all; just floats around while the tail spins. Only gave it 1 star bc by toddler thinks it’s cute.

Such a cute pup and looks like the one that just passed away, so we got it for the little one. It doesn’t swim or move its legs. I’ve tried to wind it up several times, but no luck. Little one just points and gives me a sad face and yells.

Like other comments, does not swim at all. My kid still likes it as a bath toy though.
Thought it would be better-disappointed!

I was expecting more from this little pup. I had hopes it would "swim"a little bit but it barley goes anywhere! You turn the knob and are lucky if the pup does a full circle! In my opinion dont waste your money!
