A little brown dog my mom sewed — and the movement it started

We get people off screens and back into real life — one printed memory, one phone call, one small good deed at a time.

The original stuffed Browndog on the dresser

When I was little, my mom made me a small brown corduroy dog and told me it was just like the one she dragged everywhere as a girl — the one her own mom had sewn for her.

Three generations in one little corduroy dog.

That wasn’t a toy. That was love handed down, story by story.

That’s the feeling we’re bringing back every single day.

📱 Everything works on any computer or phone — no apps, no downloads, ever.
