Dog vs. Cat – A Handmade Toy Debate

Dog vs. Cat handmade toy debate

A debate as old as time: fancy feline or darling doggy? It’s about as polarizing a debate as any. When it comes to our four-legged family members we sit firmly in our opinions, but what if we introduce something handmade to the equation. Does that change the scenario?

Enter the Zoo Crew toy animal debate.

Among the adorable creatures featured in this pin loom project eBook, there are two that I just cannot decide between. Will it be the cat or the dog? Floppy ears and a charming eyespot are points for the dog, but those whiskers and playful tail are all cat points.

Alas, there’s not a clear winner so what else might help us decide? Maybe their sweet personalities will help sway our vote.
