"My miniature dachshund loves it! She loves the crinkle ears and tail and that she can still easily squeak the body, even though it is bigger than she is."
"It lasted 3 minutes top- which is disappointing and surprising since we have many other toys from this brand that have lasted months and get played with multiple times a day. Definitely a few less quality checks were done on this toy compared to their other ones."
