Keeping a dog entertained for hours isn\u2019t always a simple task. Each breed<\/a> comes with its own unique set of character traits, some more engaging and playful than others. And while there\u2019s always more to learn about our furry friends, when you find something that works, like an especially enticing toy, you hold on to it like your life depends on it.<\/p>\n Lucky for us, Target<\/a> is always well stocked with a variety of dog toys<\/a> ready to keep our pets engaged and entertained when they need it most. Case in point: the BARK Chris P. Bacon Dog Toy<\/a>, an irresistibly silly, lip-smackingly fun plush every good boy or girl would be proud to have. Retailing for just $14.29 and shaped like a crispy strip of bacon, this is one toy you\u2019ll definitely want to add to the collection.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a><\/strong>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n Shop It!<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret that dogs love bacon<\/a>, and while Chris P. Bacon doesn\u2019t actually taste like the real thing, its familiar shape, crazy crinkle and assortment of squeakers are more than enough to get your dog\u2019s attention. Ideal for breeds of all sizes, it features a polyester exterior with a soft polyester fill, along with three squeakers and crazy crinkle built into a ribbed, textured strip along both longer sides.<\/p>\n Measuring 2 inches long, 12 inches tall and 6 inches wide, it\u2019s ideal for most dog sizes, though according to fans, it might not be the best fit for tough chewers. That said, with a variety of textures and sounds to explore all tucked into one toy, it\u2019s the perfect thing to toss into the mix at home, bring along on the road when visiting family and more. And when it’s not being used, it’s easy to tuck away without taking up too much space.<\/p>\n Related: Target’s ‘Cute and Crinkly’ $11 Find Has Shoppers Rating It a ’10\/10′<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n Online, this cheerful toy has already racked up rave reviews, boasting a 5-star average rating, so you know it\u2019s got to be good.
