ABSTRACT:
A flexible toss toy is disclosed which includes a feature that makes it easier for a dog to pick up and retrieve the disc after being thrown. The disc is saucer-shaped and is made of a soft elastomeric material. The disc has an outer-diameter leading edge, an intermediate top deck surface, and a central portion. The intermediate top deck surface has a circumferential gripping projection. The circumferential gripping projection extends upward with respect to the intermediate top deck surface, and radially inward. The central portion has an elevated portion in a plane above the intermediate top deck surface. The circumferential gripping projection extends upwardly and radially inward to an extent that facilitates gripping by the teeth of a dog. Also, the circumferential gripping projection extends upwardly to an extent that is higher above the intermediate top deck surface than the elevated portion of the central portion.
