Our Apollo can't live without his Teddy! I've never had a dog so attached to his toy. He mangles it,runs with it and sleeps with it. Absolutely in love with it. It has held up better than any of his other toys...I just wish Amazon would bring back the large version of this toy. I bought 2 mediums in case his beloved large fails. This dog toy is the best and has taken 2 years of 95 lb. black Lab punishment...now that is a true test!!
