Tips for Courage’s Quirky Look
Courage the Cowardly Dog has a wonderfully odd shape, so embrace the exaggeration: a big rounded muzzle, long floppy black ears and wide worried eyes are the keys to recognition. Embroider thin eyebrows angled upward in the middle for his signature nervous expression. Keep the body softly stuffed so he can sit in his classic hunched pose.

Spot clean Courage with a damp cloth and mild soap when he needs freshening up, or hand wash gently in cold water for a deeper clean. Press out moisture with a soft towel, reshape the long ears, and air dry flat. With this simple care, your nervous little hero will stay adorable through many spooky adventures.
