In 1978, Mattel produced a dog named hug n’ talk Napper. He was 13″ long with light brown fur with ears and tail being a darker brown. He has a distinctive patch on his back that is shaped like a daisy. The patch says, “hug me”. When Napper is squeezed he says 6 different phrases: My name is Napper, I get so lonely, You’re so good to me, Ruff ruff rub my tummy, Im sleepy, Ruff ruff ruff. Napper does not require batteries; instead he has a record player inside of him. He is like the more familiar pull-string talking toys except instead of a pull-string starting the talking mechanism, a squeeze does.
I sold this rare toy for $500.00 on eBay in 2011.

I still have a Napper Dog in great condition and he still works. I was wondering if you could tell me how much he is worth.

He is worth between $300 – $500. Definitely not a toy to allow the kids to play with:)
