| Disturbing Story About Dog Toy Caution Someone forwarded this to me- It's very disturbing but I think it is important for all dog lovers to see and know- I also believe we should boycott this company and spread the word. I have not been able to get it out of my head it is so disturbing. I hope this is the right forum to post it on.... Check out this link about what types of toys to not buy your furbabys.....(The Chai Story ) |

| If you hit the link- the chai story and scroll down you will see pictures, you tube videos, etc. - It's a pretty long story... It explains and shows you the ball, etc. So upsetting but good to know if you own a dog. |

| OH my that poor baby and his caretaker. What pain he is having, he is crying. I am so upset with this. So this ball is still being sold with no care to the animals.....its all about the money. |

| Thank you for sharing this senseless tragedy. How could this company not be responsible enough to redesign the ball so that it would be safe. How hard could it be to punch a second hole in the ball so that a vacuum would not happen? Walmart sells a similar type ball - I haven't checked to see if it has a second hole or not. This is Chizziewink's most favorite ball in the whole world, but she will have to deal with a Dr. Noy's Squeeky toy from now on. |

| This is very sad and I do use a product similar to those and will check to see there is another hole. But bell balls made the way they are are very much needed for those that have blind or visually impaired dogs. JL |
