I chucked it in the lake and my dogs watched it sink frown Called the shop and they said they could only refund me if I took it back. How lame is that?

Put it down to experience and move on eh? felt like a numpty with folk watching though biggrin

Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh! I feel your pain, but the irony is strong with this one - a floating dog toy that sinks and can only be refunded if you bring it back!

Falls into the same category as canoe handbrakes and motorcycle ashtrays.

What units did you pay in? If it was 12 salt grains then that's not too bad. 12 English pounds and I'd be saddened.

All the tennis balls I've ever used for the dogs have had very good buoyancy! For some reason this thread makes me imagine the OP in an ACME pet shop, with a salesman convincing him that an anvil labelled 'Floating Dog Toy' will do just the job..

Can the dog not vouch for your story? Go in with a sad face or something.

One of them is a basset hound, sad face is the only face he can pull

Decent dogs would have dived in and got it back for you.

Your dogs are useless.

Tell the shop that your dog drowned while diving to retrieve the toy and only a replacement toy will ease your pain.

Chop an onion just before going into the shop for added watery eyed emotion.
