Our dog Kevin loves this toy! Yes, the patch came off in the first ten minutes, quickly followed by the eyes, but that was fully expected as its a fabric toy and Kevin loved to dismantle everything we give him. I know this toy won't last long so we only give it to him for short periods, until he sets to work trying to tear it apart. I like to hide it around the house for him and sooner or later I see him trotting around with it in his mouth, squeaking away. Wish there was some kind of indestructible fabric they could use for these so they could last for a long time but I would definitely buy another one after this one goes to doggy toy heaven!
