America's favorite puzzle-solving dog, Blue, is getting together with Hello Kitty, Japan's most famous cat, in a partnership announced Wednesday.
Toys, clothes and stationery decorated with the floppy-eared blue canine and the bubble-headed mouthless white kitten will arrive in stores here next spring under a licensing deal between Sanrio Co. and U.S. licensing business Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products, the companies said in a statement.
Under the deal, NVCP has granted Sanrio the master license for the character that won fame as the star of "Blue's Clues," an animated educational series.
