My adult senior lab really likes his “ Mr. Fishy” . It is the right size for carrying in his mouth. He doesn’t tear or rip his toys. This toy has a hard centerpiece that might tempt chewers to rip into the toy. This is a sling shot style toy. I have MS so I don’t have a lot of strength. The toy only goes about fifteen feet for me. My dog enjoys it. We have used it daily for several months and it has held up very well.
