I own both the frog and the dog models of this potholder. I use them both all the time and absolutely love them. Not only are they adorable and great conversation-starters, but they're useful too. I scored them 4 stars instead of 5 because, like other silicone potholders and pads, the heat bleeds through fairly quickly. Additionally, because of the eyes on the frog and the ears on the dog, they don't fit very well in shallow kitchen drawers and the eyes / ears tend to get caught. The two models do nest together, however.
