I have bought all sorts of toys for my VIzsla, but nothing has made her more crazy than this rabbit. I have bought her stuffed mallard ducks, kong toys, fluffy sheep and all manner of hard, soft, stringy and other toy - but when I first pulled this rabbit out of the shipping box, her eyes focused on it like laser beams and I could see the bloodlust in her soul. The rabbit's head was barely clear of the cardboard box when Rosie was lunging at it. I'm tall and she had no hope of getting it, but she bounced off my thighs and made another jump in anticipation of the rabbit coming lower. She was of single purpose and nothing was going to stop her - this rabbit needed to be killed. It was hard to even throw it for her, because each time I moved my arm to swing it, she lunged for it... I had to go with the overhand throw, and she still leaped to pluck it from the air as it sailed a good three feet above her head. When it bounced along the ground, she was on it in an instant. The rabbit has squeakers in all four of its paws (and its head) and a "grunt" type of noisemaker in its body. It started grunting and squeaking at the same time as Rosie began her bloody work. I had to keep telling her to calm down so that my $15 investment would get me at least a dollar a minute of viewing pleasure watching my pooch eviscerate the thing. I managed to distract her by pointing outside and saying "whassat?!?!?" and as she looked for a moment, I snatched it from under her jaws, only to hear the crisp clack of her teeth as she made a last desperate attempt on the rabbit's ear as it vanished around the corner of the couch.
I have bought two of these rabbits. I sort of wish I had Jeff Bezos money. I would buy a hundred of them and make a ball pit for Rosie, but made from these rabbits, then I would record the results and upload it to YouTube as my submission for the definition of bliss.
I'm sure you are getting the idea... dogs go NUTS for this thing. I think it's a combination of the numerous squeakers, the type of squeakers (especially the grunty one), the crackly material in the ears, the softness of the rabbit, the coloration of the fur that looks so real and lifelife, the innocent look on this thing's face that lets dogs know they can just go full Ghenghis Khan on this thing with reckless abandon.
The only downside is it doesn't last. Not if your dog has the heart of a warrior. I am sure some day Rosie will develop some chill... now she has no chill and the Colossal RABBIT is her plaything. In the future I'll get her another and maybe she'll lay her head on it to sleep. But it sure is fun watching my little girl act like I used to when I was 8 years old and got that present I didn't think I was going to get (but hoped beyond hope I would) at christmas time. It's worth the price to see a puppy going full-puppy on this thing. Hats off to the people who designed it - it's effect on dogs is like wearing a Palpatine Imperial Guard outfit, dousing yourself in heifer pheromones and walking up to the angriest bull you can find while he's eating dinner and punching him as hard as you can in the gonads. That's how dogs react to this rabbit. It's divine.
