"This is our Border Collie's new favorite toy, the rooster crows really loud so just be prepared for that if you buy this toy, if you dont like noisy toys I wouldn't get it but if you enjoy enriching your dog's life with fun exciting toys I do recommend this toy."

— BunnyMom

"This toy was SUPPOSED to fly up to 50 feet. When I followed the instructions as to how to get it flying across the room, it broke in my hands! Keep in mind I'm a 75 year old female so I'm no weight lifter but yet it broke in my hands! Very disappointing and I will not purchase again."
