The Chai Story

Oh my god. This is just the saddest and most aggravating thing I've read in quite some time. The basics: A sweet dog named Chai was playing with his Pimple Ball (red ball with nubby chewy things on it) manufactured by Four Paws, Inc when the badly designed toy created a suction against his tongue. Poor Chai ended up losing his tongue. Four Paws basically told Chai's owner to eff off. Chai's owner started a blog, THE CHAI STORY, and lo and behold, another pet owner's dog died because of similar injuries--in 2005!

Folks, please, please, please check your dog toys. Now. Go. If they only have one hole, they can create a similar vacuum to your fur baby's tongue. Get rid of them!

And, seriously, even if Four Paws decides to do the right thing and recall all these balls and make reparations to these dog owners, I won't ever buy anything made by their company. Rotten bastards. What kind of dog toy company doesn't carefully test their products?!?!
