"This thing lasts forever! I finally replaced our first 'whaley' with this one and it's still a favorite toy. The bones really encourage play."
"Within an hour fin was off. The tail went the next day. I had to retrieve the white ring before he swallowed it. Several more days if shredding and it was in the garbage. My mini goldendoodle is a tough chewer."
