Things That Don't Fly

"Go Boy" Boomerang Dog Chew Toy

Price = $3 or 2/$5 or 5/$10 / Availability = 22

This boomerang shaped dog chewy, made in China, has 3 heart shaped depressions with the words "I Love My Dog". A Labrador Retriever with a powerful jaw will chew this one down in a few days. Packaging claims that it is good for a dog's teeth (cleans and removes plaque). Comes with a lifetime warranty (not to this catalog, but to an address in Pennsylvania). If you order multiple Go Boys, I will mix colors as much as possible.
