This was a commissioned Christmas present.
"When Miles, a majestic dachshund-beagle mix, was first adopted in
January of 2006, he had no idea he would grow to love playing ball so
much. In fact, he didn’t even know how to play! Thankfully for Miles,
that didn’t last long. His human got down on all fours and played with
dog toys to show him how it’s done, and in no time playing became
Miles’s favorite activity. Miles loves all toys, especially those that
squeak, have stuffing to pull out, or resemble small creatures. Out of
all of the choices, however, the ball is his favorite and, to this day,
Miles and the ball are inseparable. Miles is well-loved and lives
comfortably in Portland, Oregon, where his human pays his rent, takes
him on long walks, and throws the ball for him tirelessly!"
