Two Balls Are Better Than One

Hubba Wubba. Although the somewhat obscurely named Kong Wubba hardly rolls off the tongue, this tough little nylon multi-tasker is like a toy chest all in one. First and foremost, it’s a chew toy. Inside a durable, reinforced-stitch nylon fabric are two balls. On top there’s a tough rubber ball; on the bottom, a squeaky tennis ball.   But the fun doesn’t stop there. There are also some long, floppy tails that hang down from the sack so in addition to munching on the balls, the Wubba can be grabbed, thrown and fetched with equal aplomb. And, according to the Wubba World gospel, dogs especially love shaking the Wubbas back and forth so that the tails flap in the dog’s face. So give this Wubba extra points for versatility.   It’s enough to make the Wubba people believe they are sitting on your dog’s next “best friend.” According to company lore, TK, who may be a real person or publishing jargon for “Name to come,” came up with the “ball-in-the-sock” idea because he kept losing tennis balls in the snow. But the dogs fell so in love with the Wubba that they had to create Wubba World, just to spread the love. Apparently love really is all you need.
