Loopies Brown Cow Bag O Balls 7"

My 1y.o. German Shepherd puppy loves soft toys, but destroys them in minutes. If they have ears or limbs or tags of any sort, he sees them as unnecessary accoutrements and makes it his mission to dismember all things stuffed.

The only toy he has never destroyed is a plain squeaky ball, left over from an old toy purchased years ago, that is just like the ones inside of the "bag." I had resigned to the fact that the bag probably wouldn't make it, but I really just wanted the squeaky balls. The fact that the bag has no stuffing is genius and is probably what accounts for it's longevity in the toy box.

We have had this toy for over a month now and he loves it, I would like to say it keeps him occupied for hours, but nothing keeps him occupied for more than 10 15 minutes. He does, however spend more time with this toy than the rest. It has the same mental stimulation as the other hide and seek toys out there without all of the extra limbs that he finds unnecessary. We stuff the bag with lots of different things too. His old soft squeaky ball and a couple of other bouncy balls held keep the game fresh.

I applaud the makers for seeing that our pets don't need toys that are shaped into other animals, it's the owners that want the shapes. Of course, since the owners do the buying, that's who the marketers are aiming for. Our dog just needs a soft round ball that squeaks, and this is absolutely perfect.

If I could ask for one improvement, and it is minor, it would be better squeakers. They all squeak, but they have to be pressed in just the right way. It's the squeak is what keeps him playing and sometimes he gets frustrated and goes back to the old smelly squeaky ball.
