"My dog shreds the highest level BarkBox toys. Stuffed toys normally last him under 5 minutes. This owl is actually still kickin about 2 weeks after I gave it to him. This is insane. Do I watch him with it? Yes. If I left him alone with this would he tear it to pieces? Yes. But when compared to other..."
