I love Lou Rankins work. My first was spencer the seal. I bought it maybe 8 years ago. I am an adult and I have slept with that seal next to me every night. I just ordered another because my first is a little worn out. Byron the rabbit is great also. What a gift this man has. I have never seen stuffed animals with the eyes that his animals have they are so realistic!

I LOVE Lou Rankin stuffed animals. I just happened upon them one time and then I started collecting a few. Their faces are so precious. I think my favorites are the alligator, the harp seal and the squirrel looks adorable on this page (though I don't have him yet).
