"Hello- we purchased a raft of new toys for our mini-Schnauzer for Christmas, and this has by far been the biggest hit. She will play with it for hours on end... taking out the squirrels, playing with the "log" , taking other stuff out of the log (you can "hide" balls, bones, whatever in there).... or loading it up and tossing like a ball. One thing I should mention - this is not a negative in our case, but I was surprised at the small size of everything. The squirrels are only 4-5" long. In our case with the mini-schnauz it's perfect, but I think a big dog could easily swallow them (like a sock) without much trouble. One of the promo photos shows a big yellow lab playing with them.... well maybe, but it definitely seems better suited to a terrier-type of dog (in my opinion only)"
