## Abstract

The invention relates to a squeaking pet toy that is designed to continue to emit sound even if an animal has punctured the squeaker mechanism. The double-lipped reed tube design of the pet toy is novel in shape and prevents breakage of the reed tube or slippage into the toy air chamber which would eliminate the toy's ability to emit sound. The inventive toy is encased in a plush type animal shaped cover for pet enticement.
