"He’s even learning how to play tug of war and enjoying it "he is a rescue from a bad situation)"

β€” GoldenRetrieverPuppyMom

"Boy, was I ever wrong! Kong has such a FANTASTIC reputation for durable dog toys - not this one. My pup was able to chew through the hands and unravel all of the threads. He did not have this toy for very long - 5-6 minutes before it was destroyed - a pile of green, red and white string!"

Bottom Line

If your dog is a gentle chewer, this festive toy is a fun and engaging option. But be cautious if your pet is a heavy chewer, as durability can be an issue.
