Big Doggy

I came across this dog at a garage sale and had the idea to cut him up and turn him into something even cooler!  I cut a hole for his mouth, stuck a sock in it and stitched it tight all the way around.  I did the same for his ear holes.  After the hole where made my daughter stuffed his mouth and ears with letters from the refrigerator.
