Remember the original Fisher-Price Little Snoopy?

You can buy a white plastic Fisher Price Lil Snoopy at the toy store today, but remember the original wood Little Snoopy? The one I had wasn't even the original. It was from around 1965 and was catalogued as FP #693.

I loved that little pull toy dog! I still have it to this day. If you had one and don't still have it, Little Snoopy's are available on Ebay for CHEAP! I never understand why some vintage toys cost hundreds of dollars today, and others like 693 Little Snoopy, you can get for one dollar.

Maybe it is because they are so common. Just about everyone in the 1960's and 1970's had a little snoopy dog. Didn't you?

I like how you can pull it and it makes a clicking noise and the wheels wobble causing the dog to go happily up and down. His spring tail just wagged and wagged. He was a great dog. He followed me where ever I went! Here are some more pictures of him:

 

 

 

I wish Fisher Price still made simple toys like the wooden Lil Snoopy, Don't you?

I have many other toys that I can write about and show pictures of. Please comment or email if you have a favorite toy form the 60's, 70's, or 80's that you would like me to post about. If your favorite toy is before the 60's or after the 80's, I will still give it a shot. I have many of my Dad's old toys, and I know about the more recent ones too.

I am making an scrapbook album of my childhood. This dog was my absolute favorite (im born 1966) and used to drive everybody else crazy with it's squeqeu sound. I am so happy to find the pictures on your site. Thanks for sharing :)

I had one of these! My poodle, Spunky, and I used to play tug of war with it! He'd grab the string in his mouth, and I'd hold onto the Little Snoopy, and we'd pull each other across the room! I know that Spunky chewed on the Little Snoopy a bit. Later on when I was 16, I tried playing this game with my Shepherd mix. Well, he played it for a while, but later on he pretty much chewed up the Little Snoopy.
I'm also wondering where the name came from, since it had nothing to do with Peanuts.

Does anyone remember in about 1973-4 there was a toy it had a metal ring and two strings down from that with two clear hard balls that you smacked together. I don't remember the name of it but it was really cool back then. I think they stopped making them because people were using them as weapons or something.

Playing Vampire: the Masquerade, I found this little dog in one of the maps (the spooky house). I just couldn't contain a smile in my face and had to do some research. Glad to have found your post.

I love this little dog and I wish I still had mine.

My dad used to work at a toy store. He gave me one of these when I was a little child. I had lots of fun with it! These pictures bring back lots of good memories. Thank you very, very, very much!
