"A few months ago I threw away all the parts and pieces that used to be dog toys and bought my 2 dogs all new toys. (Boy did the pet store love me that day.) I got them everything: balls and squeakers and plush and rubber and rope. You name it, and I probably bought at least one that day. I came across this giant (what I call) "Spider-Turtle" and knew immediately it had to come home with me.
My older dog, Nadda, is not super interested in squeaky toys anymore but he does play occassionally and he likes to play tug with the puppy. My 50lb pit bull puppy, Lucy, plays with everything all day so that the living room floor is covered with dog toys.
She LOVES this toy. When she goes to the toy box it is the first thing she picks without fail. She loves all the noises and there are tons of places to grab it to tug. She loves to just carry it around and sit and chew on it.
For me, the funniest thing is that the Spider-Turtle's legs are at least twice as long as hers, so she invariably ends up stepping on them as she walks and tripping herself up. I think she does it at least every 3rd or 4th step, not that it makes any difference to her.
It lasted a good 3 or 4 months before we started to lose the squeakers in the tips and probably 5 or 6 before it was de-stuffed. We still play with it, as the legs are still attached and its all in one piece.
As the owner of Pit Bulls and Rottweilers I am well aware of the short life span of fabric toys and can honestly tell you this one lasted way longer than I expected. As others have said I am going to have one in reserve at all times. This is a great toy."
