Surviving everything a super-destructive terrier has thrown at it. The leaves give it thlabber-appeal (hits the dogs ears when gripped in teeth and shaken), the rubber body is durable and round enough to bounce, and the whole toy is light enough that we might still have some intact furniture once destructo-dog has finished rampaging. Convincing representation of a turnip too, although the dog has no idea what a turnip is.
