The Boston Terrier Challenge
The Search for the Indestructible Dog Toy
There it is on the shelf...a bright new toy.
Even as that new toy is placed in the shopping basket, every Boston
Terrier owner knows the fate of that toy - total destruction.
Boston owners shopping for new toys must weigh cost versus potential
durability as well as safety. Every new release is greeted with
possibility; is this toy...Boston Proof?
The Boston Terrier Challenge
is the search to find the Boston proof toy. Is there an indestructible dog toy out there?
Boston Terriers are known for their joy of shredding and demolishing
all types of toys. We have put the natural abilities of our toy
testers, Bergamot & Emrys, to work testing and reviewing all types of dog toys. The
dog toys are rated according to thrill, durability, safety and cost.
Bergamot's favorite pastime is de-stuffing a soft, plushy
squeeky toy. He has a very efficient system that brings him
much joy. He finds the seams and opens them with his teeth.
Once he has a small hole, he begins the delicate process of
fluff removal. Here is the official procedure for fluff removal:
grab mouthful of fluff in front teeth, pull, turn head to
the side, spit. Repeat. When he is finished, there remains
a barely damaged plush toy - only flat.
Emrys
Specialty: Squeeker Removal
Emrys' toy technique has a bit less finesse than Bergamot's
- but it is no less effective and much faster. Emrys' aim
is to remove the squeeker as fast as she can with the use
of brute force. Emrys begins her test by biting and punching
the toy with her nose to ascertain the exact location of the
squeeker. Once the squeeker is located within the toy, she
begins to tear into the plush to get to the squeeker within.
There is much shaking, tearing, ripping and clawing as she
disembowels the toy. Once the squeeker is freed, she snatches
it up in her mouth and runs away leaving a scattered pile
of shredded plush and wet fluff.
