Highlighted Reviews

β€” Sandra

"Great size, excellent durability, fun to play fetch or tug a war. Piper loves to carry it around and drop at guests' feet to play."

"Unfortunately our golden retrievers destroyed this within 2 days. It seems that the squeaker is what they can’t leave alone so they chew and tear until it is out as well as the fluffy stuffing. "
