Abstract
A toy includes a hollow elastomeric object with an elastic tether extending through a narrow aperture in the object from an anchor contained within the object. The free end of the tether includes a handle. About 12 to 24 inches of tether extend from the object. The object is a suitable size and shape for playing fetch with a dog. The anchor is larger (e.g., wider) than the aperture, thus impeding inadvertent removal of the anchor through the aperture.
