41164 MEL

Mel the Pug Dog is an officially licensed Ty Beanie Baby plush inspired by Mel, the lovable and goofy pug from The Secret Life of Pets animated movies. He’s a fun part of the TY Beanie Babies line tied to the 2016 film’s merchandise.

Design & Appearance

• Character look: Mel is a beige‑brown pug dog with darker brown ears and muzzle, designed to reflect the animated character’s quirky, expressive personality.

• Facial features: Embroidered, cartoon‑like eyes, a black nose, and a pink tongue sticking out give Mel a playful and friendly expression.

• Collar detail: Some versions show a tiny black collar with a silver tag, echoing his movie look.

• Plush construction: Made from soft plush fabric with TY’s classic “bean” fill for that slightly weighted, cuddly feel typical of Beanie Babies.

Size & Tags

• Approximate size: Around 6″ tall (standard Beanie Baby size) — though versions may range slightly around that.

• Tags: Authentic versions include both a TY heart‑shaped swing tag and a tush tag with product details and style number 41164, confirming it’s a TY Beanie Baby from the Secret Life of Pets series.

• Poem: This Beanie Baby typically does not include a printed poem on its tag.

Character Context
