It's a Bug-Eyed Blackfaced Plushy-Hugger. They're native to carnivals throughout the Deep South. Their diet consists of stale popcorn, peanuts, and the stuff that sticks to the sides of candy cotton machines. Late at night when the carnies are packing up, you can hear their plaintive cries of "M-m-m-m-yyyy plushie! M-m-m-m-yyyy plushie!"
Looks like a friendly Gollum. Was the doggy his birthday present? I bet it's precious to him.

It's a baby sifaka, a kind of lemur; it is nature to Madagascar.
