Somebody found the good napping spot.

Cuddle Master is a puppy pillow starring a small dog fast asleep with a teddy bear held tight. It is drawn for dog people and champion nappers, and it travels well as a present for a friend who has just brought a new dog home.

The design: one puppy, one bear, zero plans

The puppy has tan ears and patches, a white blaze running down its face to a white muzzle, a dark nose and eyes shut in the kind of sleep that follows a long day of being a dog. It wears a purple knit sweater with ribbed cuffs and hem. Its front legs are wrapped around a brown teddy bear, while its cream hind paws and white-tipped tan tail curl underneath, so the pair makes one rounded bundle.

The bear earns a look of its own: round ears, a dark nose, a small stitched smile, a seam stitched down its forehead and a magenta scarf with fringed ends. An arc of purple paw prints rises from the lower left, passes over the two of them and comes down on the right. Beneath the picture, two purple words in rounded, handwriting-style letters curve up at both ends like a smile: "Cuddle Master".

Fine dark outlines and gentle shading give the drawing a storybook look, and the plain white cover leaves generous room around it.

Simple to live with

• Polyester through and through: the cover and the insert are each 100% polyester
• 6.49–7.37 oz/yd² (220–250 g/m²) cover fabric
• A shape-retaining insert is included, so the pillow is full from day one
• A hidden zipper keeps the opening out of view and lets the cover come off
• Muddy paws happen: zip the cover off and machine wash it, and give the insert a hand wash only

Who it's for

Dog owners, foster volunteers, shelter staff and the friend whose phone is one long roll of puppy photos. It fits a living-room sofa, a guest bed, a reading spot by the window or the armchair the dog is not supposed to be on. Give it for a gotcha day, a housewarming, a get-well visit or Valentine's Day.

Quick answers

Is the dog a particular breed?

No breed is named or intended. It is a floppy-eared storybook puppy with patches, so it can stand in for whichever dog you love.

Does the wide, short shape show the whole picture?

It does. The puppy, bear, paw prints and lettering all appear, scaled down and placed mid-cover, so that shape has blank space at its two short sides.

Is this a bed or toy for my dog?

No. It is a decorative throw pillow for sofas, beds and chairs inside the home, not a pet bed or a chew toy.

Is anything else written on it?

Only the two words under the picture. There is no name, date or second phrase anywhere, which keeps it easy to give to any dog lover.

Should I expect the exact size-guide numbers?

Treat them as close guides. The numbers come from measuring the pillow lying flat, and the finished one may run as much as 1″ (2.5 cm) bigger or smaller.
