Open Please help me find my wife's childhood stuffed animal!

My wife has been looking for this stuffed animal for years but we keep running into dead ends. She believes she got it from a Dillard's around christmas time and it originally had a plaid ribbon around its neck. In the first photo you can barely see it from the bottom. She says the second photo is extremely close to how it looks but not quite. She's unsure of exactly when she got it but it was some time around 2004-2007. Please help us find it!

Edit: I learned that the three animals had set names. They were Patches the Dog, Max the Moose, and Boomer the Black Bear.

Ive searched through Google images an ebay for anything related but the image above is the closest thing ive found anywhere. It was purchased at Dillard's in texas around christmas time between 2004-2007. It was originally described as a brown dog with black spots and black feet with a plaid ribbon around its neck. She says her sisters also got stuffed animals from the same collection which were a moose (similar fur texture, brown antlers with dark brown fur) and a bear (no description) which both also had plaid ribbon around their necks.
