Which puppet character's favorite toy was a small dump truck?

Daniel Striped Tiger’s favorite toy was a small dump truck. The shy puppet lived inside a grandfather clock in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe and was performed by Fred Rogers.

Daniel was the first puppet to appear on The Children’s Corner, the Pittsburgh program where Rogers developed many characters later used in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. He carried that early history into the later series and became one of its most recognizable residents.

His home was a non-functioning grandfather clock with no hands. In the logic of Make-Believe, that meant time could be whatever one imagined; Daniel nevertheless wore a watch on one arm because, as a clock-dweller, he needed to know the time.

The character is sometimes confused with the animated Daniel Tiger from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. The animated character is Daniel’s son and has a blue stuffed tiger named Tigey as his favorite toy. That later detail does not change the original puppet’s small dump truck.
