This is my Golden's favorite toy and trust me that is saying a lot since he is one spoiled dog. He loves to take the Hurley to the beach and just lays at the waters edge chewing on it. Once in a while he will release it and you can throw it in the water. This toy has provided hours of entertainment for him. It is very durable and although this is our second Hurley the first one took nearly 4 years to destroy.
