Marshall is a 5 month old Golden and he absolutely loves this toy!!! I love it because at the moment he likes to carry things in his mouth when out on walks and I can told one side as he holds the other. He also loves to tug with it! The construction of the toy is solid and I don't worry about it busting a seam even when older brother Maverick, a 8 yr old Lab Mix who is hard on tugs, gets a hold of it.
