Meet Brave — your new beautifully detailed, deeply devoted Border Collie companion and the very first plushie in the Little Paws Plushies own brand range. Brave is not just any plushie — he was born from the pages of Brave The ESSA, the beloved Little Paws picture book, and he carries all of that wonderful story with him. That gorgeous black and white coat with beautifully realistic markings, those bright intelligent eyes, those soft floppy ears, those beautifully embroidered paw pads that are a signature Little Paws detail you won't find anywhere else — and tummy beans that give Brave a wonderfully grounded, satisfying weight that makes him feel genuinely real to hold. At 475 grams and 47cm long, Little Paws Brave is beautifully substantial for his size — weighted, detailed and deeply present.
This is the ESSA that started it all. The first Little Paws own-brand plushie, designed with the ESSA community at heart, made to the highest possible standard and already loved by hundreds of families across Australia and beyond. Border Collies are famously the most intelligent breed in the world — deeply intuitive, fiercely loyal and completely devoted to the people they love. Brave brings all of that wonderful, watchful, completely dedicated Border Collie energy wherever he goes. The Little Paws size is perfect for younger children, smaller hands or anyone who wants a more compact Brave to carry throughout the day.
