I made this sock dog from a pair of socks I found at the discount store in Greenpoint. I had an old pillow that the stuffing was coming out of, so I used that to fill the doggie. The buttons are from my button collection and cost just a few cents. I think the total cost of materials for this was about $4. I will call him "Andy" named after the first dog we had when we were little...maybe Andy Bandandy
