Most dogs love to get treats and they’ll do a number of stupid pet tricks in order to earn a reward. Now dogs can earn a food reward without complete loss of dignity.

The [StarMark](http://www.aboutdogtraining.com/product/1606/Snoggle.html) Snoggle Treat Dispensing Plush Toy can be filled with food or treats for your dog who will then have to extract them through the adjustable opening. Snoggle also has a squeaker inside to entertain your canine companion without adding treats. One size works for all dogs.
