Stephen Huneck, like most dog people, firmly believes that dogs can recognize each other and this belief was the inspiration behind this Jack Russell head tug toy. The head has a 4.5" diameter and is rubber-coated. The toy also includes a convenient 8" tossing rope for hours of give and take tugging and tossing fun.
The Jack Russell toy is heavier than most balls and should only be played with outside with a large dog. This isn't a ball you want to throw and have your dog catch but it's a great retrieving toy for land or water since it floats. Plus, this ball will bring a little art to the toy chest. Stephen Huneck collectors may just want to display the toy as art because it's such a reflection of Huneck's design work instead of letting your dog play with it.
This toy can be played with in water because it floats.
