ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic animal tug toy comprising a length of cotton rope which is woven so as to define a closed loop handle, a shaft portion extending from the loop handle and a pair of tail portions extending from the shaft portion. The tail portions each define a knot therein proximate their extended ends. A cylindrical handle member is disposed about a portion of the closed loop handle whereby upon a person gripping the handle member and one or two animals gripping and tugging on one or both of the tail portions, the toy provides playful exercise, cleaning of the animal's teeth and massaging of the animal's gums, and upon twisting of the toy, the handle member maintains the loop handle in a loop configuration to protect the person's hand disposed thereon. In an alternate embodiment of the tug toy adapted for use with only a single dog at one time, the rope is woven so as to define a closed gripping loop extending from the shaft portion in lieu of a pair of tail portions.
