The couch uses a beige and brown color scheme to help define the different sections of a dog's face and ensure that the sofa looks as close as possible to the animal while still being functional. The front of the couch has a brown tip to resemble the nose, with pouches on either side to mimic the floppy ears of a dog. Whether or not one's pet will be allowed to rest on the couch is a completely different matter, and is dependent on whether owners mind a bit of hair on the Puppy Sofa.
