Dooly The Little Dino


"Hoi Hoi" is what the cute little dinosaur would say in his cute voice when he would try to help people by making things disappear or move.  At the same time, he would cause a lot of trouble.  Dooly, born the same year as me and is like the Mickey Mouse of Korea during my good old days.

He was one chubby dinosaur.  He had chubby white fingers and feet.  His tail was even fat.  His big head would always make me wonder how his body will support it, but then he was missing a neck.  Clumsy like he is, he would always have his tongue stuck out.  His big forehead was covered with two short strands of black hair.  His brows arched like a hill.

My father brought home a doll Dooly which was my very best friend until he started pooping out cotton balls.  The cartoon was what I always looked forward to.  He would be doing anything he could to drive his “human” family, or owners, the roughest time.  He would scare his “human” family by being in the fridge to survive the dry humidness of summers in Korea.  But then there would be the sad touchy moments that would put me into tears when he thinks about his mom.

His name is Dooly, the little dinosaur.
