It's a Tuffy. They're designed for dogs that are hard on plushies, like I am. Actually, all of us except Zoe are really tough on soft toys. Zoe doesn't play much at all. She likes to take everybody's toys and hide them in her bed, though. Weird.
So anyway, Tuffies come with ratings from 1-10. Li'l Oscar Octopus there is a 7.
Which, coincidentally, is about how many minutes he lasted before I had half of his fluff and three of his eight arm squeakers out.
Heh.
***Note from Bandit's Mom: If your dog isn't some space alien from the planet Destructo, which apparently ours are, Tuffy's toys might be a good choice. They're pretty sturdy (Simba's deconstruction of Li'l Oscar notwithstanding). They have all sorts of animal shapes (farm animals, sea creatures, etc.,) stuffed rings - one of those lasted about two months with Bandit - and a pretty cool tug.
The trio of terror apparently is going to need to wait until someone comes up with a stuffed dog toy made of Kevlar. Yeesh.
If you're looking for wicked tough non-plush toys, try Westpaw's Hucks, Hurleys, and Tuxes, Kongs, StarMark Pet Products' Everlasting toys, Planet Dog's Orbees, or Petstages Orka toys. Although Bear took a chunk out of a Huck, the rest of the Westpaw toys are still going strong after months of daily play. Bear did tear two of the lobes off of an Orka jack, but the others have held up. And none of them have been able to significantly damage a Kong or an Orbee yet. Pretty darned impressive.
