The story of Mary Meyer and her company is a testament to the power of passion and determination. As a young woman, Mary studied clothing design in New York City, and in 1933, at the age of 29, she and her husband, Hans Meyer, combined their talents to design, manufacture, and sell tomato and animal pin cushions, as well as dolls. After a few years, they expanded their offerings to include stuffed toys. In the early 1940s, the company made the move to the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont.

In the mid-1950s, Mary's son, Walter, joined the company, and he continues to be an active member of the organization. In 1982, Walter's son, Kevin, also joined the family business, eventually becoming the president in 1986. Over the years, three of Kevin's brothers have also joined the company in various capacities, demonstrating the enduring legacy of the Meyer family.

Mary Meyer was actively involved in the management of her business until 1982, when she retired at the age of 78. However, her commitment to the company did not end there. Even after her retirement, she remained engaged, often visiting the company's factory store and delighting in meeting with teddy bear collectors, signing their Mary Meyer collector bears. Mary Meyer passed away in 1999 at the age of 94, but her influence and spirit continue to shape the company she built.

Today, the Marshmallow Zoo collection reflects Mary Meyer's principles and values. With over 400 different stuffed toy designs, the company remains committed to designing extraordinary products of outstanding quality, all while maintaining a focus on customer service and value. The Marshmallow Zoo Puppy, with its ultra-soft silvery tan coat, cute brown eye patch, and huggable design, exemplifies the company's dedication to creating toys that are not only beautifully crafted but also meet or exceed US toy safety requirements.
