Ouch! Was it one of the "for heavy chewers" toys (or whatever they call them?) That was my biggest gripe. This was supposed to be an extra-tough toy.
Initially I got those until I realised for the price they cost, I'd get five cheaper ones that'd get destroyed in total time of two hours, instead of the one toy being destroyed in 1 hour. The "indestructible" toys are total bs lol.
I know that sounds like a savage dog, but he's a Finnish Lapphund. Long story short, super friendly, cautious, intelligent, gentle, and submissive companion working breed, but how they were bred, they eat leftovers and carcasses like wild dogs. So he gets big frozen bones, ribs, etc. everyday. But, every now and then he gets a soft toy and it's a big mental stimulation to rip it apart. The first couple mins is watching him literally explore areas for weak spots to get in, then it rapidly unravels like one of those YT vids of pelple solving Rubix cubes in under 30s.
I'll admit mine's just savage. She's evil, but I love her.
