To start, I will acknowledge that neither of my dogs are small, but I didn't worry about how they would do with this "mighty" toy, since they both have historically been very gentle with their toys. Neither has ever destroyed a plush toy, and they have quite a few that are neither large nor designed to be especially rugged. My Flat-Coated Retriever has a very soft mouth, and has zero history of killing his toys, with the notable exception of tennis balls, which he likes to peel the felt off of. Many of the toys from the Mighty line, including this bee, have a short-napped, felt-like coat, so I guess my dog decided that this bee was more like a tennis ball than a plush toy to be shown off and cared for. There was stuffing everywhere within a few short minutes, basically as soon as he sat down with the thing. Very disappointing. I know there are plenty of other dogs who share my dog's felt-fascination, including many who are otherwise very gentle. I guess the takeaway for me has been that this bee and maybe the Mighty line in general are not good choices for dogs that fall into this camp. In the future, I'll probably stay away from the entire line, since it apparently brings out the barbarian in a dog not known for being hard on his toys. In my experience, not very mighty.
My dog loves the bee and so far the wings are still attached! So it's a very tough toy if your dog loves to chew!
