Abstract: A tossing apparatus for facilitating the tossing and retrieving of a ball without the user having to physically contact the ball in order to play a game of fetch with a pet. The tossing apparatus includes an elongated tubular barrel having a first end that is open and a second end that tapers so as to form a handle. The tubular barrel comprises a hollow interior volume adapted to hold a ball or similar object therein. The open end of the barrel includes a curved lip, wherein the curved lip is disposed on a portion of the barrel end. In this way, the curved lip is configured to facilitate the retrieval and tossing of a ball supported within the hollow interior of the elongated shaft.
