Comforting a sick, overtired, or frightened child can be difficult—especially in the unfamiliar surroundings of a hospital. New rooms, new sounds, treatments, and many unfamiliar faces can leave a child feeling overwhelmed and alone.
​
That is where Owie BowWowie® can help.
​
Owie is a soft, cuddly companion created to comfort the hurts and hearts of hospitalized children. He becomes a familiar face in an unfamiliar place—a FUR-EVER FURiend children can hold when they are frightened, rest with when they are tired, and bring along when it is time for a treatment or procedure.
​
With Owie BowWowie® beside them, children have a little friend who goes where they go, reminding them:
“You are not forgotten. You are not alone.”
​
Thousands of Owie BowWowies® have been placed into the arms of children who needed comfort, companionship, and something of their very own to hold.
