Abstract

A plush toy is configured to replicate a dog and includes a battery-powered squeeze-operated light within one of the dog's front feet. The light is operated by raising the light supporting foot and squeezing the foot to energize the battery-powered light. A control circuit within the toy body controls a plurality of flashing lights and a sound output speaker to produce a series of predetermined sounds together with flashing lights when the control circuit is triggered. A pair of light responsive motion sensors are supported within the toy body and respond to changes of seam in close proximity to the front portion of the toy to trigger the operation of the control circuit and the production of sound and flashing lights. A manual trigger switch is also provided to initiate sound and light flashing.
