"This toy is constructed well enough, that it does not tear apart easy. However the squeaker is another matter..... it quit squeaking 30 minutes after I gave it to my dog. He was rather frustrated with it when the squeaker quit working. My dog loves his squeaker toys and (believe it or not) does not tend to tear them up. I've had squeaker toys last a year, but this one not even an hour, and not because of the dog. So now I have a squeakerless duck. My dog is not the very destructive type even though he is an American Pitt Bull Terrier."
