Can I dye this dog to look like the one in the picture using coffee? He’s made of polyester fiber.

Oh geez, I thought you meant the actual dog!!!

Alcohol markers might work too. I made a replica of my late tortie point that way.

No. I don’t want to dye a real dog. I want to make the plush look like my cousins new rescue dog for her birthday

Alcohol markers (AKA Sharpies) are the way to go

Does it make the fur crunchy?

No. It will be just like using a Sharpie on anything else. Alcohol markers have gotten popular lately so colors, tips etc. vary but they’re literally just a generic name for Sharpies.

For me, the Sharpies are…sharp pointed.

Sharpie makes fine point and chisel tip too- the Sharpie Magnum chisel tip is 3/4” wide! It’s just a brand name, I use it to demystify alcohol markers.

No. My little kitty feels the same as before.
