For the same reason you love a flashy new toy (hey Apple watch), your dog loves one, too! No matter who (or what) you are, having a new thing to play with just makes life more exciting. It doesn’t have to be a special occasion to treat your pooch to a present. Show her you love her with one of these entertaining dog toys that range from cheap and cheerful to splurge – she won’t even remember how mad she was when you left her for a week over the holidays.
