Review of Silly Squeaker, Mr. Poop- Mini Poo, Dog Toy

While browsing around on Amazon for dog toys for my bull terrier, I came across a really funny squeaky toy. Mr. Poop. The toy came in 2 sizes, a large poop, or a mini poop.

I was initially going to order the larger Mr. Poop squeaky toy, but decided against it. Shipping charges made the toy come out to way too much money, so I left Mr. Poop alone.

What made this toy so funny though, and nearly forced me into buying it was the fact that the squeaky toy was hilarious. The squeaky toy is literately a rubber piece of poop. The poop has eyes on both sides of it, and when pressed makes that infamous loud annoying squeaking noise that all squeak toys for dogs make.

At any rate, no less than 5 days later while browsing around at a local pet store I happened to find Mr. Poo! The poop however was not the larger version I was hoping for, instead presented to me was Mini Poo.

I was a little disappointed in the coloring of the squeaky toy. Online the toy looked to be a faded color brown, but the one I came across was a gray dehydrated poo. The packaging though sold me, Mini Poo comes in a package shaped like a toilet bowl. His head sticks out to add to the whole, funny, yet gross factor. Seeing that I didn't have to spend $8.00 to have it shipped I went ahead and purchased it for $7.00.

So What Did The Dog Think?
 
The toy I knew I could not give to my bully. I knew he would just tear right through it in seconds. My smaller yorkie however loves small squeaky toys, and I knew that once I handed over Mini Poo he would be excited to gnaw on the thing.

I handed the package over to him once I got home. My dog enjoys removing his toys from packages, so Mini Poo was handed right over just as I had bought him.

Once he managed to yank the Mini Poo Squeaky Toy from the package, he went prancing around with it in his mouth. It's really nothing disgusting to watch because Mini Poo does not look like a real poop at all. In fact the coloring makes it look more like an burnt piece of charcoal squeaky toy.

While my dog happily went away chewing on Mini Poo I logged on to my PC and ignored him for about 5 minutes. I only turned around to look at him because I noticed Mini Poo was no longer squeaking.

On the bed I noticed my dog managed to bite Mini Poo open and remove the plastic squeaker. I snatched the squeaker to ensure he did not swallow it.

My dog is a small 7 pound fella, and normally he has his squeaky toys for months before he savages through them with his teeth. Mini Poo sadly only had a 5 minute lifespan.

I let him continue to rip Mini Poo apart. In one hour, Mini Poo was in hundreds of small pieces on my bed.

A real let down, especially considering how expensive the toy was. I bought it for smiles and giggles, but the toy was not worth the price. It's also pretty dangerous considering how easily the squeaker could have been swallowed.

All in all, if you happen to come across Mr. Poop, or Mini Poo, leave them on the shelf. The toy is not durable enough, even for the smallest of dogs.
