Cute doggo!

Just a side note - those balls are quite bad for their teeth, as they wear them down like with a sandpaper.

It's specifically non-dog tennis balls isn't it (the ones made for dogs should be fine)

Quick search for “penn 3” tells me its indeed for tennis. Not sure about dog specific ones though, never heard of em.

It’s a ball my neighbor kids accidentally hit into my yard and Rigby claimed as his own.

I don't get him tennis balls otherwise, he’s more of a firehose toy chewer but this ball has him enraptured.

I’m gonna try to trade it out for a dog safe one, but everyone (including Rigby) deserves at least one vice in their life.
