"My dog loves all toys. Basically. And this one was no exception. However, within a short period of time the rope and the toy had been separated, and that was annoying. The knots at the ends of it aren't very sturdy. That being said, she enjoyed it very much, and played with both pieces for a long time afterward.
The rope did disintegrate eventually, and that left annoying pieces of rope throughout the house. The rubber thing was eventually lost, I think. Like all Kong rubber, it did stand up well."
