This is one amazing ball. So sorry to see it was discontinued. This ball is 3 years old now and played with by my 2 labs. It is fun to throw, bounces everywhere and survives every possible scenario including being dropped into a campfire. Please consider bringing this ball back into production. My son just got a St. Bernard and I went to buy another one for him but see it is no longer available. This is the first dog toy that has lasted any length of time.
