He'd been gifted this for christmas a couple ofyears ago, and I washed it whenever he let me. My sister had bought it, and just recently passed away. After 2 years of everyday use, I decided to find, and buy another one. He didnt want to give up the old one, and I finally got him to accept the new one. It is the ONLY toy he's never destroyed. He still has the older one also. Im actually curious about how long it will last. The quality is unbelievable. I would recommend this toy to anyone that has a dog that destroys their toys in less than a day.
