Tragically, some toys are dangerous and may end up hurting your dog.

Jamie Stumpf’s dog, Maximus was playing with his favorite toy – a ball that had a large hole at one end.

Maximus’ tongue swelled and he was like that for an extended period of time, by the time he got to the veterinarian, there wasn’t much they could do – Maximus died.

Please make sure if you have this ball for your dog that you don’t let them play with it when you are not around.
