How much is that doggie in the handbag?

Tiny dogs are the hottest fashion accessory at the moment, at least for certain celebrities. Cute and fluffy they may be, but we reckon the new FurReal Friends Tea Cup Pups from Hasbro are a much more sensible option.

Tucked away inside their fashionable handbags, these pups can make realistic puppy sounds and move their heads, responding to your touch just like a real dog, but they won’t need toilet breaks or feeding. Take them out of their bag and they can sit, stand or lie down thanks to their poseable legs.

Choose from a Yorkie (pictured) or a fluffy white Maltese in a pink handbag. The Tea Cup Pups are priced around £19.99.
