About Rover the Dog

Rover was the first Beanie Baby dog that was not a breed. He is the red dog, style number 4101, with a birthday of 30 May 1996.

The Cincinnati Reds gave away 14,000 Rovers at their game against the Montreal Expos on 16 August 1998.

Six wrong tush tags are documented: Chocolate, Chops, Daisy, Goldie, Mystic and Scottie. Three of those, Chocolate, Goldie and Mystic, have also turned up on Spot, and Rover's own tag has been found on Sparky.
