Abstract: The pet toy of the present invention comprises a light weight body and a pet treat dispenser for dispensing a treat to a pet animal upon accessing the pet toy with the pet treat dispenser affixed to the body at a location at or substantially close to the center of gravity of the pet toy and comprising a flexible material divided into at least two sections with each section including one or more layers of flexible material extending from a border area surrounding the perimeter of the pet treat dispenser such that the flexible layer(s) form a plurality of flaps for removably gripping the pet treat.

Abstract: A toy for a pet and method for fabricating a toy for a pet having a shaggy thick fleece fabric outer coating and an inner body of an elastically deformable rubber core with the rubber hollow core body molded from at least two rubber core sections to form a rubber seam between the sections, and with the sheep fleece covering formed by adhesively attaching the pieces of thick fleece fabric to the rubber core body with each piece of fabric being of an appropriate size and in a thickness of between about 8 mm to 20 mm and having cut edges for forming the outline of a predetermine pattern corresponding to the desired shape for the pet toy and in an arrangement with the cut edges abetting each other on the rubber core surface so that the entire peripheral surface of the rubber core body is covered and with one or more fabric seams being formed which lie along the mated edges in a pattern having an orientation independent of the orientation of the rubber seams.

Abstract: A toy ball launching and retrieving device adapted to hold two balls at one time so that both balls can be launched consecutively from the device and so that each ball can be separately retrieved by said device comprising a handle having a ball engaging and releasing member at each opposite end thereof for separately launching and retrieving each of the two balls with each ball engaging and releasing member comprising a plurality of at least four relatively flexible fingers symmetrically arranged relative to a common base with each finger having a free end and a curvature forming a radial arc in substantial radial alignment with the curvature of a finger disposed opposite thereto such that the curvature of the fingers and common base form a partial spherical space for retaining and releasing a ball and with the spherical space substantially conforming to the geometry of the ball.
