Go to this site and order the prickly ball . http://www.dogcatetc.com/022cl-th17.html There is not a picture of it by itself but it is the red ball at the top of the picture. It is a 3 1/2 inch red ball with little spines on it , large enough to be safe but also soft so you can pinch it . It squeaks and bounces great . They will mouth it and squeak it but I have never seen one that will tear them up . They love them !! They are soft and they like the way they feel in their mouth .I bounce them and they catch them before they hit the ground then I just throw them to them and they catch them. I can't guarantee that he won't tear it up and it is certainly destructible, but I have never had a dog that will . They are very inexpensive, 1.65 each . I buy several at a time and replace them about once a year . They are hard to find .
