Our 65# dog LOVES to play tug & due to a rotor cuff injury I had quit playing with her. This toy allows enough shock absorption that I can now play again! The Bumi works overtime in my house as our dog wears out all 3 family members, daily :) I love that this toy does not bounce, is light weight (unlike KONGS)& has not cracked or punctured! We have a small size but will be purchasing a larger size soon!
