I have purchased several of these and the only reason why is because of my dog losing them. These are awesome and my 35lb terrier loves to play fetch with it. Our first one was chewed up though by a rottweiller but it took him a good long time almost a year to do so. in 7 years im on my third, i will comb the neighborhood for this thing if my dog takes off and loses it. Its so worth it!!!!! iTS THE ONLY THING besides his chuck it he will play with. I need this quick before he realizes its gone!!!!!! lol You wont regret its worth the money and shipping. What do you have to lose its guaranteed!!
