"People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone." - Audrey Hepburn
I came to this site for advice about a man and love. That very question turned my entire world around and I have had my eyes opened to things I never noticed before.
I've stayed here so that I can share the knowledge I do have. I know I'm not changing the world but I do hope that I spark others to open their eyes.
"The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself." - Oscar Wilde
So, if you learn something from what I say then repeat it to someone else who can use it.
I hope that if you see an answer of mine that you enjoy it will inspire you to go out of your way to give good, solid information. Provide links for further information, detail your responses, encourage people to seek out professionals when it's needed, and stop sugar-coating responses and just say the truth.
I hope that even if you absolutely hate my answer that it'll kick start your brain. Hopefully you'll begin taking your time to respond instead of hurried answers that are useless to an already confused person.

The doll in this video beside the sleeping dog is really cute! It's been a long time since I've seen a doll that actually looks creep and not so creepy. If anyone knows the name of this doll or where to buy this one please let me know!

Alright, I see you're talking about the TOY and not the DOG. I feel I have clearly read your question and understand it. ;)
The doll looks like a Kewpie doll in a little yellow teddy bear costume. Kewpie dolls (also sometimes referred to as Cupie dolls) first appeared in the early 1900s. Kewpies were originally made in Germany, and are named after Cupid. The Kewpie doll is even the official mascot of a small fast-food chain in Michigan called Kewpee Hamburgers (and, also, the mascot of Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri).
The doll featured is probably a remake, as they have been seen throughout the years in plastic form.
You can find a ton of affordable Kewpie dolls on Etsy (most you would need to dress yourself if you wanted clothing):

QVC has a Kewpie doll dressed as a ducky:

Ebay has some cute Kewpies:

Unfortunately, this Kewpie is about as close as I'm getting to a yellow bear outfitted one:

OH, and these are somewhat close:
