That is a sad story Lorraine.... Mine have had rope toys before. I don't think I will be anymore.
This is why I don't leave my dogs unattended with their toys.

So sad for the pup. After reading this I decided to put away
the old rope toy that was laying in the bedroom. Maggie is the
only one who plays with it & she has plenty of others that are
much safer. Thanks for the reminder.

It is always good to keep in mind that there are dangers lurking where we might not expect to look, but I also believe that there can be potential danger in many toys if they are torn/chewed/swallowed too vigorously. You might think even something as simple as a tennis ball would be safe, but I remember when Tommy was younger and completely mutilated one until it was a flappy rubber shell, which of course could have been very dangerous had he swallowed it. I don't think this necessarily should send the message to never buy/use rope toys, but more to keep in mind that as mentioned, a dog should always be supervised when chewing/playing with toys, especially if they are an avid chewer.
It is very sad. Thanks for the heads up Lorraine.

Thanks for sharing Lorraine!!! We all need to remember that there are dangerous toys and to monitor our babies during playtime. That poor baby!!!

Thanks for sharing Lorraine, i am always so nervous to give the dogs those rope toys, they chew them and chew them fast!
In the past i have found rope in Faces poops, i dont think i will use the rope toy anymore im gonna stick with the nyla bone that thing has lasted almost 2 years now! And they go to town on it too!
Poor Pittie, and his poor owners
Thats so sad. We always watch ours with their toys. Autumn is a chewer not a eater of toys but I still watch her like a hawk when she is playing with anything.

What a tragic story...
any toy can be dangerous, actually pretty much everything is potentially dangerous, I am not going to work myself into paranoia because of a few isolated insodents because accedents happen.

I believe the dogs should always be supervised with toys, unless it is something that the owner knows the dog won't eat (Some dogs need toys to keep them busy while the owner is gone). My neighbor's dog constantly ate the frayed rope at the ends of his rope toy. It always worried me because I knew it could get stuck in his intestines and kill him...I guess that was only one thing to worry about with him..the constant mites, ear infections, roaming, and neck troubles due to tugging on his tie-out were just a few of the other things...
I've been BOO'd!
