You won't believe how this disc holds up. Mine has survived simultaneous attacks from several dogs, hours of chewing, and even a full year "lost" up on a metal rooftop! When it fianlly blew down, it went right back into the fray. It was a little weathered, but held up just fine. Don't underestimate its durability because of its nice, soft touch. Easily the best flying, floating toy I've ever tried.
