Okay, let's talk about this adorable little dashboard buddy! First impressions? Super cute. The English Bulldog design (yes, it's definitely a bulldog, not a Boston Terrier) has that perfect chubby-cheeked charm that makes you smile instantly. The paint job is vibrant and clean - no sloppy edges here.

Now for the real test: does it stay put? Here's the thing... The included adhesive pad works okay in mild weather, but if you live somewhere with extreme temperatures (looking at you, Arizona summers), you'll probably need to reinforce it with double-sided tape like I did. Once secured properly though? This little guy becomes the happiest car companion - bobbing away cheerfully at every turn and bump in the road.

The size is perfect - big enough to be noticeable (about soda can height) but not so large that it obstructs your view. I particularly love how it catches sunlight during golden hour drives, making the colors pop even more.

Quality-wise, it feels surprisingly sturdy for the price. The resin material has good weight to it, though this does make it slightly top-heavy (hence the adhesive issues). After three months of daily use including some brutal summer heat waves, mine hasn't faded or shown any wear.

Pro tip: If your dashboard has any angle to it, consider placing this near the windshield where it's flatter. Mine lives happily next to my speedometer and hasn't taken any unexpected flying lessons!

While not perfect out of the box (that adhesive situation...), with a little extra securing this becomes such a joyful addition to your daily commute. Just seeing that happy face bobbing along makes traffic jams slightly more bearable!
