I thought this toy was cute and the oink-sounding squeaker was fun, but for some reason my dog found it upsetting. She could smell there was a new toy in the bag on the table and was leaping up to see if she could get it. When I pulled the toy out she was immediately confused. I tried squeaking it, throwing it, and simply putting it on the ground for her to decide how to play with it. My dog sat on the floor, keeping a distance from the pig, and whimpered. After 30 minutes I put the toy in the garage and then my dog sat at the door crying for another 30 minutes. It was heart-breaking!! I gave the toy to a friend who reported the same reaction from her dog. She had to throw it out. So odd!!!
