The AKC's Plush Woodland Mallard Dog Toy will quack its way to your dog's heart

Whether or not you approve of hunting as a sport, your dog has no problem stalking furred and/or feathered woodland creatures - especially if he's a hunting breed. Labs, especially, are hard-wired to retrieve downed fowl. It's what they do.
 
Which makes the impressively life-like Plush Woodland Mallard by the American Kennel Club an excellent addition to any dog's toy chest. Thanks to built-in squawkers and quackers, this plaything has a serious repertory of duck sound effects, and comes in two sizes - the better to accommodate a variety of canine jaws.
 
Because at heart all dogs are hunters, regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Even my urban, pacifist, liberal Border Collie, Sheba, who is such a sweet creature that she treats my cats with tremendous respect and maternal TLC, grooming and cuddling with them ever-so-gently. I'll never forget the day in the country when I was horrified to discover Sheba with her mouth full of a kill - her quarry was a poor little dead chipmunk.
 
Just take it from the mouth of Bill Campbell's beloved, hard-working service dog Pax, who told us candidly, "This is my favorite toy. I get to pretend I'm a hunter. My dad thinks I look cute with it dangling out of my mouth."
