"She can tear it apart to get the squeaker immediately, the bell is still inside and she can play non stop."
"I know she had to have swallowed some of the tiny plastic pellets from inside so I just really hope they don't make her sick or worse. I just ordered this toy 2 days ago and now it's discontinued which is good because I would absolutely NOT recommend this toy."
