Eight tentacles to grab
Which is the point of the shape. There is always something for you to hold and something for them to hold, so tug works without either of you fumbling for a grip.
Squeak and crinkle, not silent
A genuine squeaker in the head and crinkle material through the tentacles. Two different noises is what keeps a dog investigating past the first afternoon.
Embroidered eyes
Stitched into the fabric rather than glued on as plastic, so there is nothing small to work loose during play. Still supervise a determined chewer, as with any plush.
Bored of every toy within a day
Usually because they are all the same toy. A plain plush is one shape, one texture and one noise, and a dog works that out fast. Eight crocheted tentacles, a textured knit body, a squeaker and a crinkle give them considerably more to investigate.
Be straight with yourself about your dog, though. This is a soft plush, not a rubber chew toy. It suits dogs who carry, tug and parade a toy round the garden. If yours destroys a soft toy in ten minutes, buy something rubber instead and save the disappointment.

Advanced FAQ
Does it actually squeak?
Yes — there's a genuine squeaker built into the head, plus a crinkle material in the tentacles for extra sensory play beyond just the squeak.
Is this suitable for aggressive chewers?
Not ideally — it's a soft crocheted plush, not a tough/rubber chew toy. Best suited to dogs who enjoy tugging, carrying, and interactive play. Always supervise play.
What size is it?
32cm long x 8.5cm wide — proportionate for small to medium breeds, though many larger dogs enjoy it too for tug and carry play.
Is it machine washable?
We'd recommend hand washing to protect the squeaker and crinkle material, rather than a full machine wash.
What's it made from?
A soft, textured crocheted/knit outer fabric over a plush filled body, with a squeaker in the head and crinkle material in the tentacles.
Will the eyes come off?
The eyes are embroidered directly into the fabric rather than glued or stitched-on plastic pieces, so there's nothing separate to work loose — as with any plush toy, still supervise young or determined chewers.
