Need help finding replacement ball toy

[Xatra]

I found this ball at Wal-Mart a few years ago, sold as a dog toy, for about $2. It quickly became my male dog's favorite toy and although he was nice to it, it inevitably eventually started to fall apart. I have not been able to find a replacement, at Wal-Mart or anywhere else I've looked. He/they have many other balls, smaller, larger and approximately the same size but made of different materials, as well as lots of other types of toys but nothing is as good to him as his favorite broken ball, although I can tell he wishes it was still a whole ball, rolled around and made a little noise when he chomped on it like it used to.

Does anyone have any idea where I could get a ball like this? It was made in China, is approximately 5" in diameter, flexible plastic and hollow. I don't think he'd mind if it wasn't green and white since dogs can't see color, but the pattern might matter to him. This dog is actually mostly Labrador, but his sister is a Boxer and the happier he is the happier she is.

I'm sure if you went to your local Petsmart or Petco they'd have a soccer ball like that. Ozzy had one when I first got him. It didn't take him long to put a few holes in it. After awhile it no longer squeaked. I would recommend getting him a cuz ball or two. You can find them at Petsmart and Petco as well. Ozzy has two and now they are the only toys he'll play with. GOOD LUCK!

Jolly balls are great also, they have a handle on them & come in different sizes,also very durable

When I read about the toy, I started think about the movie "Best In Show." They needed to find a special bumble bee toy. Oh the things we do for our fur babies.
