Highlighted Reviews
"We bought one of these for our Corgi puppy. Four years later, she still has it and loves it! It's gone through the wash several times and holds up great. I really got my money's worth from this toy!"
"My mid size terrier had the rope untied and out of the holes of the red bone in 2 days. He loves playing with both, but even when I put it back together again - it didn't stay. Of course, the rope began to unthread immediately too. So buyer beware: Good for awhile."
