Imagine being able to hook your hands under your Dot’s arms and pick them up – and then toss them up and and let them float back down into your embrace. Or perhaps your favorite song is playing in the background and you want to have a little dance party with your Dot. Or maybe you want to just relax on the couch snuggled up against your Dot. The possibilities are endless and the joy you’ll feel is REAL.Team Credits:Aaron DesinAlicia BerryAnika BenonsAshley RosenbaumAsim AhmedDaiga ShinoharaDavid HollinJessica JungLuis TolosaRachel WindsorRemi SparksShan JiangWill JacksonSupport the show
