I purchased Hero for my daughter’s collection. Hero has been protected in a plastic container and is in new mint condition. The ty tag is mint (no creases, dents, tears, writing, fading, or sticker damage) and is encased in a plastic protector. It has a hologram number 10 and an exploding white star imprinted with “yrs” on the tag. The tush tag is dated 2003 and a hologram appears above Hero’s name. An American flag is on his right shoulder, but it is reversed. His camouflage colors are green, tan and brown. He was released for donations to the USO. Hero has a birth date of 3/12/2003 indicated on the tag and was retired on 12/29/05. He is stuffed with Polyester Fiber and P.E.Pellets. More details may be observed in the photos. Perfect addition for your collection! From our pet- and smoke-freehome.
